Swansea Drydocks’ vision is to create a world class ship repair and recycling facility that conforms to European standards for quality, environment and health and safety.
Our services cover the full life cycle of a ship, from preparing the Inventory of Hazardous Materials and ongoing repair and maintenance, through to end of life ship recycling.
Located in the King’s Dock which forms part of Swansea Bay, the site comprises two areas:
the main area provides two dry docks, waste processing and storage facilities as well as buildings, infrastructure and parking.
The second area, located in the Queen’s Dock Basin, provides the Phoenix Wharf Repairing Berth, and additional waste storage facilities will be developed in the future.

The dry docks dimensions:
Prince of Wales Dry Dock 1 Length: 204.5m Breadth: 27.8m
Prince of Wales Dry Dock 2 Length: 170.7m Breadth: 22.36m

In addition, vessels of up to 266m in length can be accommodated at the repair berth.
The normal water level in the King’s and Queen’s Docks is 10.5m, therefore capable of accommodating very large draft ships.
With our newly refurbished facilities and convenient location we offer an attractive proposition to ship owners seeking high quality, reliable and environmentally responsible services.
