Overview

DORMAC Cape Town and DORMAC Saldanha Bay are strategically positioned close to the entrances of these main Ports.

The entire spectrum of repairs including cofferdam projects are part of our daily services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The West Coast of Africa is a major hub for oil exploration. DORMAC Cape Town and DORMAC Saldanha Bay have over the last 2 years, been involved with numerous repairs to drill rigs, semi submersible mobile offshore drilling units, offshore supply vessels, research vessels, anchor handling tugs, general cargo vessels, container ships, tankers, passenger liners and harbour tugs.

The proximity of Cape Town and Saldanha Bay to both the East and West Coast oil fields has resulted in these ports becoming a haven for repairs which are safely completed in these two Ports.
