Home to one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbours, A&P’s Falmouth facility is the largest ship-repair complex in the UK.
With three large graving docks and extensive alongside deep-water berthing providing capacity for vessels up to 100,000 tonnes, A&P Falmouth provides a complete range of marine repair services thanks to our on-site engineering, electrical, paint and fabrication workshops and ongoing relationship with specialist contractors and OEMs. A&P Falmouth also offers bunkering facilities, the ability to dock without gas-freeing, in-water surveys and propeller polishing.
A centre of excellence for Ministry of Defence vessels, ferries, mobilisation and demobilisation works, jack-ups, pontoons and tankers, A&P Falmouth is also a busy working port, handling over 100,000 T of product annually. This helps to support a strong and local supply chain offering a wide range of services including towage, ship’s agency, area port health, diving services, local surveyors and tank washing.
