rolling against the cable drum.
As Andrew Stark points out, the transport arm was set up from
the beginning – and has evolved ever since – primarily to support the ship repair business: “We have structured the ship repair side around being able to serve our clients’ requirements and being able to do what needs to be done – often with very little notice. And our transport operation runs to the same set of values.
“For the most part we don’t have longterm contracts with customers. Essentially we wait for the phone to ring and then
go do it. There are times when we have quite a lot of capital investment sitting idle, but that’s the reality of a jobbing, service business as opposed to something where you can predict how much work a particular unit will be doing.
“The majority of our transport is still internal. We cart steel
and other engineering products into our repair and shipbuilding facilities, we store fishing nets in a facility we have in Bromley that has 1.5 hectares of total land and over 2000 square metres under cover. We also store trawl doors there as well....plus a lot of mussel industry equipment.
