UK-based ship repair and maintenance company, Dales Marine Services, has expanded its operations on Scotland's east coast with the lease of a dry dock at the Port of Leith and a workshop at Montrose.
Part of the Dales Group, based in Peterhead, Dales Marine was established there in 1987, moving in 1991 to Aberdeen where it has leased the two acre harbour site and 112-metre dry dock since 2004. There are already more than 20 vessels booked for dry docking at Aberdeen in 2010.
Dales Marine is now operating the Imperial dry dock at Leith on an initial ten-year lease from Forth Ports and is to invest nearly US$400,000 in an upgrade and overhaul, including gate seals, hydraulics, pipework, sluices and pumps, with the dock to be available for use by March 1.
