Derecktor Shipyards

America’s first repair and refit yard designed and built with the 200 ft., 900-ton and up fleet in mind, Derecktor Ft. Pierce will match the world’s great refit yards in both facility and ability. Situated directly inside Fort Pierce Inlet, 3 nm from the Atlantic Ocean, DFP provides deep water (28 ft./ 8m) access with no overhead obstructions. Eight acres of level concrete apron give ample storage and repair space, with a newly refitted building housing machine, wood, electrical and pipe shops along with offices and other support services. The world’s largest mobile hoist - 1,500 tons - along with a planned 5,000-ton drydock will give unmatched flexibility and hauling capacity.
