Williams Shipping were recently asked to assist a cruise ship exchange their anchor. Having only a small window whilst the cruise ship was alongside in Southampton, the anchor was delivered to the marine base at 21 berth and the Willdiscover & Wilcarry 300 were mobilised to effect the change-out. Making use of the Willdiscover’s Heila 170t crane greatly assisted in the operation.

Our experienced team can support a wide range of marine operations. For details about our marine service, please visit our website - https://www.williams-shipping.co.uk/marine/ or get in touch with our team at [email protected]

Recently, Williams Shipping mobilised the Willdiscover, Willsupply and Wilcarry 504 with specialist dive equipment to locate and recover a dredger’s lost drag head. Having located the drag head at a depth of 32m in the Nab anchorage area, the barge was moored in position enabling divers to rig recovery equipment. Utilising the Willdiscover’s 70t deck winch and Heila crane the 20t / 20m long drag head was successfully recovered to the deck.

Following the recovery, Williams Shipping provided berthing & cranage at their marine base in Southampton to support the ship operator repairing the drag head, allowing the ship to return to dredging operations.
