Boats for sale

Alameda, CA, April 6, 2009 Offshore Supply Vessel, San Miguel, returned to work mid-March delivering crucial drilling supplies to drilling platforms and rigs after undergoing maintenance and repairs at Bay Ship & Yacht, located in Alameda, CA.

With a length of 190’ and width of 44 feet, the San Miguel repairs required a yard capable of drydocking a boat of its size while also performing the intricate repairs to ABS certification standards. Owner, SEACOR Marine, LLC, selected Bay Ship & Yacht to perform the work, confident that Bay Ship’s 2800 Long Ton Drydock capable of lifting vessels over 370 feet long, proven expertise in commercial vessel repairs, and their company-owned and operated propeller, fabrication, and paint service shops would provide the on-time, on-budget service SEACOR required.

Drydocked in early-February, the San Miguel underwent repairs and general maintenance including, Ultrasonic Test (UT) inspection; keel cooler repair; fabrication of a 15' x 8' foc’sle deck extension; inspection and repair of propeller shafts; sea valve and chain locker inspection and repair; and hull cleaning, prep, repair and paint. Bay Ship & Yacht’s full-service fabrication shop designed, built and installed a 15' x 8' foc’sle deck extension, decked with 1/4" diamond plate, while their propeller experts removed and inspected the propeller shafts in Bay Ship & Yacht’s complete machine shop.

Concurrently, Bay Ship & Yacht’s master fabricators, certified welders, and expert painters and machinists executed the rest of the repairs and maintenance needed to complete the job – on time, on budget, and to ABS certifications.

Bay Ship & Yacht’s unique ability to provide teams of in-house experts in all facets of commercial vessel repair to work in conjunction on a project results in reduced downtimes and increased attention to detail from stem to stern. This coupled with being the only California shipyard with a modern syncrolift, further cements Bay Ship & Yacht position as one of San Francisco Bay Area’s premiere shipyards providing a complete range of refit and repair services, expanded capacity, and unsurpassed customer service.
