North East ship builder A&P Group has reported a buoyant start to the year with its dry dock and quays operating at full capacity.
The company, which also has facilities at Falmouth, in Cornwall, has the largest dry dock on the east coast of England at Hebburn, South Tyneside, which provides ship repair, conversion and fabrication services for the marine and energy sectors.
The new year has started with a raft of vessels from the offshore sector berthing at the Wagonway Road shipyard, where they are currently undergoing extensive programmes of works.
