Yacht Solutions Secures New Refit Facility in Bangkok

Yacht Solutions has secured a new super yacht refit facility in Bangkok Thailand.

The new facility (300 metres x 100 metres), located around an hour from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport, was required to cater for alongside work. It comfortably caters for vessels up to 200 metres in length.

The Yacht Solutions Bangkok facilities now boast a haul-out for a maximum of 85 metres and 1,500 tonnes as well as access to two 115 metre dry docks, alongside berthing, two floating docks up to 160m and 3000 tonnes lift capacity.

Gareth Twist, the Managing Director of Yacht Solutions said, “We have been in the marine refit and repair business in Thailand for 10 years and this seems the natural progression for our business. The superyacht industry in Asia is growing and recent trends show that there has been a year on year increase in the number of superyachts either in the region or transiting through the region and we are very keen to attract those vessels to our facility in Thailand for planned or emergency refits, repairs or conversion work.”

 “We have a tremendous pool of talented craftsmen here in Thailand and our Yacht Solutions facility combines European management, standards and quality with the renowned finishing skills of Thai craftsmen. Our unique combination ensures international standards are maintained while owners receive exceptional value for money and service due to the efficiencies of operating out of Thailand. With this facility we are able to compete with the European yards but with the distinct advantage of a lower labour cost base,” Mr. Twist added.

Yacht Solutions has successfully completed extensive refit projects on the 54-metre MY Pegaso, 40-metre MY Amoha, 35-metre MY Nymphaea and a 36-metre MY White Rabbit.
