The shipyard’s two open slipways at Portland in Dorset, utilise slip trolleys capable of hauling vessels up to 40m in length, 350t in weight and with a beam of up to 20m.

Chris Beals, Project Manager at Manor Marine, commented, “We are pleased to once again be working with Jenkins Marine; they are a valued client of ours and it’s great to be seeing their vessels using our facilities.”

Dan Jenkins, Director at Jenkins Marine, said, “We’re pleased to be using the services of Manor Marine again, one of our regular partners for dry docking works. It’s great to see an independent UK shipyard continuing to be open for business and offering such a diverse range of services, which is essential for UK based operators, especially in a time when such facilities are becoming fewer and further between. We have a strong working relationship with the team at Manor, they’ve done a good job and we won’t hesitate to call them for our next docking requirement.”
