Get it serviced

First-time DSEI exhibitor, South Africa’s Bayside Marine (Stand N3-110), is offering ship repair and maintenance services to the naval, marine, oil and gas, as well as tourism sectors.

Based in Hout Bay near Cape Town, the company has serviced the likes of Armscor’s Institute of Maritime Research and South Africa’s state-owned transport utility, Transnet. It has also worked on harbour tugs and vessels operating to Cape Town’s prime tourist destination, the Robben Island Museum.

In May this year, Bayside Marine participated in the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas, where chief executive Bongani Tokwe expressed his confidence that the company would get good leads for its repair and maintenance of oil rigs, vessel and boat services.

With facilities that include steel, aluminium and fibreglass shipyards, access to Cape Town drydocks and a synchrolift, Bayside Marine undertakes a range of services. These include vessel conversions and even vessel scrapping; component overhaul, tailshaft, rudder and thruster inspections; deck and hull repairs; structural steel repairs and fabrications.
