GPS Marine has concluded a joint venture agreement with EAPL (European Active Projects Ltd), for the joint operation of the slipway facility at Ramsgate in Kent. Given the shortage of slipway facilities in the Thames and Medway, the slipway at Ramsgate is the closest facility to the Thames which suitable for docking GPS Marine’s vessels and, as such it is anticipated that it will be routinely utilised by vessels from the fleet and will play a large part in helping to ensure that the GPS Marine fleet is maintained to the highest possible standards.
The addition of the facility enables both EAPL and GPS Marine to utilise GPS Marine’s Ultra High Pressure blasting unit and trained operatives for third parties in addition to the GPS Marine fleet.
