AFLOAT SHIP REPAIR
Description: MEC Shipyards, located in Panama, is ready to service your vessels with any of the challenging repairs that your vessel may require while in Canal waters. Whether regularly scheduleed maintenance repairs, collision or accident repairs, MEC solutions will provide you with a Complete Ship Repair Solution in any complex or simple situations that your vessel may encounter.
There is virtually no ship repair above the water line that can not be performed at Panama Anchorages. Also, with the development of new technologies and expertise, a very large number of underwater ship repairs can be performed outside the traditional dry dock. If your vessel needs special ship repair services and you do not have a lay by berth, or if your docking time schedule is delayed or reduced, afloat ship repairs could be a cost effective solution.
