News: Oceania Marine’s North Shipyard working on major upgrades of Damen Sea Axe Shadow Support Yacht UMBRA

Damen Sea Axe Shadow Boat Arrives at Oceania Marine Shipyards for Major Upgrade

The project is scheduled to be completed within the next three months and includes, a two metre addition to the stern, fitting of helicopter deck and all equipment and infrastructure supporting helicopter operations. At the same time a full exterior repaint in owners colours and vessel survey requirements will be done.

Oceania Marine’s Brent Charlesworth is Project Manager and explains: “We are working to a very tight schedule and have a lot to do within the timeframe. As a consequence we have put together a work team involving our best workers, sub-contractors and suppliers available from within Port Whangarei.”

Luxury yacht support vessel Umbra has been transferred from the hardstand into Refit/Paint Shed C where she will stay for the duration of the project. Crew and owners representatives have made themselves comfortable in the newly upgraded crew amenity and work areas with direct access at deck level.
