Enterprising MGM Boats that operate Dun Laoghaire Harbour's boatyard is, like every business, adapting to the new Coronavirus world we are operating in.
It's likely that when Dun Laoghaire Marina opens to berth holders on May 18th there will be considerable demand for the adjacent boatyard services at the country's biggest boating centre so the company has drawn up procedures for its service work to protect staff and clients.
The firm operates the only dedicated boat hoist on Dublin Bay, with the ability to lift craft up to 50–Tons.
The lifting and servicing of boats need to continue after the winter break and the procedures (downloadable below) have been implemented by MGM Boats and are being sent to all its service clients.
'All boatyard staff are undergoing extensive training in this regard to ensure a safe and workable solution can result in boatyard services continuing,' MGM's Gerry Salmon told Afloat.
MGM Boats offer a wide range of boatyard services including pressure wash, block off and cradle, relaunch as well as boat storage.
