The company is one of North Norfolk’s most vibrant small businesses, having built a fleet of three state of the art personnel transfer vessels [PTVs] which are currently on long- term charter to the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm. A fourth vessel, Kitty Petra, is scheduled to join Ginny Louise, Eden Rose and Tia Elizabeth in May 2014.

“We saw the potential offered by the continued development of offshore wind energy in the North Sea and have developed our business with this industry


Scour Prevention Mats consist of a matrix of end-of-life vehicle tyres which stabilise the seabed to stop scour. Scour is caused by the flow of water speeding up around an object, causing a hole to form in the seabed around the object’s base, which gets progressively deeper. If left unchecked this can affect a structure’s integrity and damage its foundations.
