A new dock gate is being fabricated as part of the Arctic Corsair’s new home at North End Shipyard.
At a recent site visit, the new steel gate is currently being manufactured in two parts and in its final stages of construction.
After ten weeks of production, it will leave the manufacturers in Grimsby and then be painted before being transported to Hull where it will be welded together to become one steel structure.
The existing gate will be removed later in the year and replaced with a new 15.5m by 6m, 50 tonne steel replacement. It will be installed by crane on a floating barge from the river Hull.
