With the advent of “cold weather coatings,” Irving Equipment is able to work in blasting and coating year round. In addition, we have devised a much safer method to remove rudders, propellers and tail shafts up to 75t without the use of traditional block and tackle removal methods.
The docks and wharfs, as well as along side, provide drafts over the blocks of up to 9 meters.
All our facilities are certified members of ISPS and operate 365 days a year.
