Not sur- prisingly, he was given the managing director position of the new enterprise by Mr. Copley. The primary tasks involved gutting and ren- ovating several of the buildings to provide office accommodation, stores and workshops, initiating an intensive marketing effort and replacing a dock gate of one of the two dry- docks available. Mr. Carr hopes to get a third before too long. The marketing initiative was immediately successful as the first docking, the cement car- rier Blue Circle Venture, soon arrived for major refit. This was followed by a succession of vessels including more Blue Circle ships and others from owners such as Crescent, Dover Harbor Board, J.H. Whitaker Tankers, Port of London Authority, South Coast Shipping, Alexandra Towing, the Societe Loientaise d'Armement (a French freight line) and Union Transport. For a company in exis- tence for just over a year, the list of owners reveals a remarkably large number of repeat bookings. Four Alexandra tugs have been docked, and both of Dover Harbor Board's tugs have undergone refit. One, the Ruston/Voith tractor Dextrous, was back in the "Victory" dock during MR/EN's visit, for damage repairs after it was pinned to a harbor wall by a bulbous bow. In the other dock, a coastal bulker, Hoo Beech, was having its Aquamaster thrusters replaced through a hole cut in the plating. Meanwhile, maintaining day-to-day busi- ness, Mr. Carr plans for a promising future. The company is to manage a museum dedicat- ed to the boats and activities of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in a huge covered hall, formerly housing two of the navy's machine shops. The boats and displays are more or less in position, but elevated visi- tor walkways and cradles are to be construct- ed before its spring opening. Adjoining the museum is a cavernous cov- ered slip where frigates and O-Class sub- marines were once built, with adjacent con- struction bays capable of handling numerous craft up to 130-ft. (40-m) in length. Work is just about to start on renovating and cleaning up the building, to prepare for the construc- tion of new vessels in the summer. Mr. Carr has more ideas: "I'd very much like to attract some RNLI repair and construction work to the area between the museum and the slip. A viewing gallery would enable visitors to see the old and new side by side." Additional plans bring in other companies within the Ailsa-Perth Group much involved in the super yacht industry: naval architects G.L. Watson & Company and Vosper Yacht Services. Chatham is ideally located to build, service, repair and refit superyachts, being within easy reach of the English Channel. "Not only do we hope to attract business from Europe and the Mediterranean, but the nearby dock- yard development includes 1,600 homes, many of which will have a yacht berth, and two of the large basins are to be converted into luxury marinas. This is bound to generate business." FBM forges links with Far East FBM Marine International (FBMI), a sub- sidiary of the Hong Kong Parkview Group, is teaming up with Aboitiz & Co.
