Shake Dog
A well equipped support vessel for marine construction, engineering, repair, diving and maintenance work.
Shake Dog multicat has proved herself a rugged workhorse time and again. With her 68t/m crane, galley and upgraded crew accommodation she is truly an all-round support vessel.
Shake Dog is equipped with a 68t/m hydraulic crane as well as a self loading TL38 Cherry Picker work platform with the capability to take 2 people from river level to 44ft for various applications including aerial inspections, close working at height and ease of access to bridges as well as other works normally only made possible by abseiling. The deck is large enough to hold 2 x 20ft containers or 1 x 40ft container.
Shake Dog has worked on projects such as removing and re-instating moorings for super yachts in the Royal Victoria and Albert dock in London, assisting with the extension of Felixstowe port’s quay, lifting a WWII bomber from Goodwin Sands on behalf of the RAF, transporting a 4 ton metal plug along the Thames, and daily support for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project.
As well as working locally on the Thames and South-East, Shake Dog is licensed to work in the North Sea, on the South Coast and in all UK and Ireland ports including (but not limited to!) the Port of London, Portsmouth, Southampton, Ramsgate, Plymouth, Liverpool, Ireland, Cork, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Shetland Islands, Newcastle, Tyne, Great Yarmouth, Scarborough, Grimsby, Hull, Ipswich, Lowestoft, Medway, Dover and Milford Haven.Â
