Frequently Asked Questions
What is marine fabrication used for?
Marine fabrication involves building, modifying, or repairing metal components for boats and other marine structures. This includes structural parts like decks, hull extensions, railings, fuel tanks, ladders, and support items such as platforms or mounting brackets.
What materials are best for marine fabrication?
Aluminium and stainless steel are the most common materials used in marine fabrication. Aluminium is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for hulls, tanks, and fittings. Stainless steel is used for structural supports, hardware, and handrails due to its superior strength and resistance to saltwater corrosion.
What’s included in a vessel refit?
A vessel refit can include modifications such as hull extensions or reinforcements, interior refurbishments, updated fuel and water tanks, deck additions, railing installation, and more. It may also involve integrating electrical and electronic systems, engine upgrades, or aesthetic improvements such as repainting.
How long do aluminium boat repairs take?
Minor repairs may take a few days; more extensive structural work could take several weeks. Access to in-house fabrication equipment can significantly reduce lead times, especially when custom components are needed.
