15
Sep�
2011
Local fishing vessel William Sampson, owned by Newlyn fishing company W S Stevenson & Sons, has departed the Penzance Dry Dock following a four-week schedule of works and refit.
The vessel left the dock on Wednesday (14th September( at approx 1800 hrs, with all the works completed on time and to plan, despite a number of changes to the work�s statement during the four weeks of refit (and adverse weather conditions delaying the painting).
Andy Manza, General Manager from W S Stevenson & Sons says �Penzance Dry Dock is a local facility that provides an easily accessible dry working environment for the refit of vessels. Earlier in the year we had a very rapid response to the docking of two of our vessels PZ 137 Twilight III and PZ 199 Algrie for refit and remedial works requested by ourselves, W S Stevenson & Sons. The work was carried out on time and to a very tight schedule of works drawn up at very short notice, following the successful refit of the two vessels.�
Jimmy Barnes �Skipper� added: �It was a pleasure to be back on board the vessel on its return journey to Newlyn�.
The Dry Dock offers a 365 day a year service with a dedicated docking berth for vessels, a drying-out berth and a range of workshops, including areas for fabrication, fitting, electrical work and carpentry.
The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company, which took the lease on the Dry Dock on 1 September 2009 which has been based in Penzance for more than 90 years.
With experience in shipping and the marine industry through the company�s owned and operated ships, Scillonian III and the freight ship the Gry Maritha, the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company is well placed to maintain the high levels of service delivered as well as providing opportunities for future growth and expansion.
Jeff Marston, Chief Executive of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company added: �The Dry Dock has provided services to ships for many years and has a great reputation for efficiency, quality and competency, we hope to build on this and maximise our opportunities for servicing existing clients as well as attracting new business.
