At Silverstar Marine (SSM), we offer dry docking services designed to maintain and enhance the operational efficiency of your vessels.
Serving ships up to 100 meters in length, our facilities in Henderson, Western Australia, are equipped to handle any commercial ship repair, ensuring your vessel remains safe, compliant and ready for operation.


SSM primarily utilises the Australian Marine Complex (AMC) Common User Facility (CUF) for dry dock repair. We do, however, have access to several other ship repair yards should you prefer a different solution. The AMC CUF floating dock boasts the following specifications:
To further enhance our efficiency, SSM has expanded our dry docking encapsulation from 35 meters to 55 meters. This gives us capacity for double docking.
These capabilities allow us to accommodate a diverse range of vessels, from tugboats to larger commercial ships.
With a team of experienced professionals, SSM is able to perform a variety of services during dry docking, including:



Preventative maintenance, such as hull cleaning, anti-fouling applications and corrosion control, helps reduce long-term repair costs. Addressing these issues in dry dock prevents costly breakdowns and minimises any unexpected downtime.

The activities carried out during dry docking keep vessels in line with safety standards and regulatory requirements.



Dry docking offers efficient vessel maintenance, allowing for thorough inspections, repairs and preventative works while ensuring compliance with relevant standards. At Silverstar Marine, we leverage dry docking to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions to our clients. Some of the benefits include:
In January 2025, SSM successfully completed a time-sensitive maintenance project for Svitzer’s tug, ‘Bunbury.’

This accomplishment underscores our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet stringent operational demands.
