This week, we were happy to welcome state and local officials to our Mamaroneck shipyard for a behind-the-scenes look at the R/V Brewer, a new educational research vessel we’re building for SoundWaters.

It was a great opportunity to share more about the project and how this vessel will bring students closer to Long Island Sound through hands-on marine science and environmental education. We’re proud to play a part in connecting the next generation to our waterways and the many opportunities within the maritime industry.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to visit, learn more about the project, and share in our excitement for what’s ahead.

Senior Technical Project Manager Rob Hastie takes us aboard M/Y Alessandra for an inside look at the work underway.

This is Part 2 of our site tour. Check out Part 1 and follow along as the project continues to take shape.

There’s still plenty to do before she’s ready for the splash. ⚓️

We just hit a major milestone on M/Y Alessandra III ⚓️

Scaffolding is coming down as we reach about 95% completion on her full repaint, but there’s still plenty to do before she’s ready for the splash.

Stay tuned 👀

New lift? No, it’s .

In 2021, our 1,500 US-ton MBH was assembled at Derecktor Ft. Pierce. At the time, it became the world’s largest mobile boat hoist.

Before that, our 900-ton lift at Derecktor Dania held the record as the world’s tallest mobile boat hoist.

A little Derecktor history worth revisiting. 😉

We recently hauled this 60M CRM at Derecktor Fort Pierce, where she is undergoing a full bottom job and 20-year survey. Stay tuned for the aftermath⚓️
