Shipyard
Derecktor has brought Teakdecking Systems on-site at its Dania Beach shipyard under a new partnership effective immediately. The arrangement is meant to support refit and repair work with earlier planning, integrated estimating and scheduling, and closer coordination between the yard and the decking specialist.
Derecktor Shipyards has launched Derecktor One, a megayacht refit program it says will bundle estimating, project management and delivery under one contract. The service is available at the yard’s Dania Beach and Fort Pierce locations in Florida.
Derecktor Shipyards has agreed to build R/V Brewer, a 50-foot by 23-foot aluminum research catamaran for SoundWaters in Stamford, Connecticut. The vessel, designed with Chartwell Marine, will support education and research work on Long Island Sound and is intended to carry 2 crew and 35 passengers.
Derecktor Shipyards has delivered CREST’s DC1, a 12-meter offshore crew vessel built at its New York shipyard and developed with Chartwell Marine and Volvo Penta. The catamaran is certified to USCG Subchapter T and is fitted with twin Volvo Penta IPS D6-500 systems.
Derecktor Shipyards has launched a semi-custom vessel model called DC1, aimed at research, ferry, patrol, fire response and commercial workboat markets. The yard says the platform is based on a proven hull family and can be fitted with diesel, hybrid or electric propulsion, along with mission-specific layouts and equipment.
Derecktor Shipyards will equip a third hybrid-electric ferry for Chatham Area Transit in Savannah with Freudenberg e-Power Systems battery packs. The vessel, Julliette Gordon Low, is due for delivery by the end of 2026 and will carry 32 XMP 96P Marine subpacks with a total installed capacity of 307kWh.
Derecktor Shipyards will christen the rebuilt passenger vessel Hazel N. Dukes at its Mamaroneck yard on May 6, 2025. The 57-foot, 16-foot-beam boat was rebuilt with Paradise Express Ferry and Tucker Marine and fitted with rebuilt Detroit Diesel 8V92 turbo engines, Raymarine navigation gear and updated safety systems.
