Marine Trade Support for Builders, Yards & Warranty Teams
​
Velaris Marine provides skilled marine trades to boat builders, production manufacturers and shipyards during build, completion, refit and warranty programmes. Operating from Poole, Dorset and supporting projects across the UK and internationally, we supply coordinated teams capable of integrating into existing build schedules and project timelines.
Work is typically undertaken where additional experienced labour is required to maintain progress, complete handover stages or support vessels undergoing rectification across multiple locations.
​
Support Services Provided
​
​
Projects are coordinated with owners’ representatives, project managers and yard personnel to align with local regulations and schedules.
​
Production & Build Assistance
​
Skilled trades assisting during vessel construction and fit-out phases, working alongside in-house teams to maintain build schedules.
​
Completion & Fit-Out Stages
​
Final installation work including joinery fitting, interior finishing, hardware installation and preparation for owner handover.
​
Warranty & Rectification Work
​
Attendance to vessels requiring post-delivery corrections, both within the UK and overseas, maintaining consistent workmanship across multiple visits or locations.
Refit Yard Support
​
Additional trades supplied during peak yard periods where vessels undergo scheduled refurbishment programmes.
​
Multi-Trade Teams
​
Coordinated labour covering carpentry, teak decking, systems installation and finishing, allowing yards to avoid sourcing multiple subcontractors separately.
​
Working Within Existing Schedules
​
We are accustomed to working within shipyard procedures, project management structures and build timelines. Labour can be allocated for:
​
-
short-term project phases
-
extended refit periods
-
seasonal demand peaks
-
overseas warranty programmes
-
manufacturer delivery schedules
​
The aim is to integrate into the existing workforce while maintaining consistent standards across the project duration.
​
UK & International Deployment
​
While many programmes are supported along the South Coast marine industry hubs, Velaris Marine regularly attends projects across the UK and internationally when vessels cannot return to a single home yard. This ensures continuity of workmanship during delivery, warranty or operational schedules.
