Global ship repair, defence, conversion and marine specialist A&P Group has formed a strategic partnership with Peel Ports’ Great Yarmouth facility to offer services to the offshore wind, tidal and oil and gas sectors.
A&P, which has opened an office on site staffed by two full-time project managers, will collaborate with Peel Ports to provide its marine and ship repair services, including its mobile ship repair service Afloat.
Afloat will also be available to visiting vessels at the Port of Great Yarmouth, A&P said.
A&P Group managing director David McGinley said: “This is a strong alliance for the A&P Group as it gives us an invaluable presence on the east coast and importantly, establishes an even stronger, working relationship with Peel Ports Group.
“In particular, we have a strong history of supporting wave, tidal and offshore floating wind developers as well as major renewable companies, and it’s this experience and heritage that make us well placed to partner with Peel Ports Group in the creation of a marine services hub.”
Peel Ports Great Yarmouth port director Richard Goffin said: “Our partnership with A&P Group is part of an ongoing commitment to offer added value services at Peel Ports Great Yarmouth, building on our existing investment programme that has seen £7m invested in facilities to support the offshore sector.”
