Burgess Marine Ltd

Burgess Marine directly manages major Fast Ferry refits across Europe on a regular basis. Technical Managers are deployed both domestically and internationally, often at short notice, on a project management basis to oversee major structural renewals and repairs as well as main engine overhauls and replacements.

The business not only directly manages planned dockings it provides extensive skills support direct to operators with regards to their own planned and emergency dockings.

A major part of Burgess Marine's business is guaranteeing the availability of skilled Aluminium Welders and Fitters, and skilled Mechanical Engineers to support dockings across the globe.

Dry dock project management is not specifically associated with the Fast Ferry industry; the business supports both conventional operators and the Ministry of Defence via its Strategic Partnership with BAE Systems - Surface Ships Support (formerly BVT Surface Fleet). Furthermore the business has a preferred partnership arrangement with the Syncrolift in Cherbourg ensuring proprietary access to all Fast Ferry Operators in the region.

Burgess Marine has successfully supported dry dockings for a number of customers, including, but not limited to:

  • Balearia
  • Bay Ferries
  • Brittany Ferries
  • Condor Ferries
  • FRS
  • HD Ferries
  • IOM Steam Packet
  • Irish Ferries
  • Red Funnel
  • Royal Navy
  • Sea Containers
  • Stena Line
  • Thames Clippers
  • Wightlink
