Drydock Magazine - Gibdock Builds on Growth
Gibdock continues to go from strength to strength under its new ownership, building on the growth of the past two years by focusing on both new and existing clients. Notably, Gibdock has been supporting the Royal Navy with several high-profile vessel visits in recent months. The ferry business remains strong, with owners already booking vessels for next year, and the offshore construction market is also robust.
Several clients are now seeking long-term agreements or multi-vessel/volume-based discounts for docking services.
Gibdock has signed two new agency agreements: an exclusive agreement with Naval EGT for Italy, Monaco and Malta, and an agreement with BWA Yachting to expand its superyacht market. These partnerships are expected to enhance Gibdock’s market reach and offerings.
Enquiries have increased compared to last year, and Gibdock anticipates a busy second half of 2024 and start of 2025, with many regular customers booking dock slots early. The company is also experiencing growth in new markets, including semi-sub-accommodation platforms, drilling rig maintenance, cruiseship drydockings and heavy fabrication projects.
Gibdock can be found in Hall B3.EG, Stand 205 at SMM
