Yard set to clinch orders

Alan Plews, Evening Gazette Sep 21 2005

The last remaining shipyard on the Tees, Aveco, is expecting to
celebrate the winning of two new contracts.

Tenders for a £500,000 80m pontoon for the mooring jetty at Cowes,
Isle of Wight, were due to be submitted at the weekend and the result
known by the end of the month. And this week yard owner Dennis Aveling is also hoping to hear that Aveco has won the contract for a pontoon for a new lifeboat station at Whitby.

This news came as the yard waved bon voyage to its latest contract -
the hull of a 26m tug - as it was towed down the coast for refinishing
work at Hepworth's shipyard at Hull. From there it will sail to Ukraine to help tankers in and out of the Caspian oilfield.

All Ship Shape

Alan Plews, Evening Gazette Aug 2 2005

The only shipbuilder on the Tees is looking to double its turnover to
£2m in the next year.

As one job leaves Aveco's Normanby Wharf next month owner
Dennis Aveling is expecting a contract worth around £250,00 for a
new river tanker, to be followed by the £1m-plus Blade Runner 3 -
a 76m motorised shallow water barge used to transport wind
turbines from Newport to Southampton.
