Earlier this year, Grenada Marine began the construction of our new Staff Facilities building. The building comprises lockers, showers, toilets, a kitchenette and an eating/general area. We are quite excited about the construction of this building, as the employees were, up to now, temporarily occupying the area to the rear of the client washrooms.

As the construction of the Staff building was in the last stages of completion, we also began a program of upgrading and renovating the existing client washroom building.  The facelift included re-tiling of the shower stalls, new fixtures, installation of a lowered ceiling for increased privacy, and a full re-painting of the interior and exterior.

On Friday July 3rd, 2009, we had the formal dedication and official handing over of the Staff Facilities to the employees. Below is a slideshow of the dedication ceremony, as well as some shots of the client facilities.

We are pleased to announce that we are in the final phase of our expansion into Y4 (Yard Section 4) and that today we have chocked our first boat in that section. Y4 is expected to accommodate up to 80 boats, which will bring our total yard capacity to approximately 250.

As many of our clients are aware, we have been planning the expansion into Y4 for some time.  In May we reached our maximum reserved capacity for the existing sections of the yard and we had to decide between closing reservations for 2008 or pushing forward with completing Y4.  Jason took the difficult decision and committed to the expansion, even without firm funding in place, and the hard work got underway in earnest.  Almost every department, from the metal shop to the electrical department, and most importantly the Yard Crew, has worked tirelessly to bring the project to fruition.

Below are some pictures chronicling the progress of the project.

On April 2nd, Grenada Marine’s newly revised website went live!

The website has been updated to make it easier for you to access information. Our services have been given their own web pages, containing biographies of key personnel and photos of past and ongoing projects.

Our Contact page now includes a web form that you can use to send us a short message; a directory of most-requested telephone numbers can be found at the Misc Contact page. All necessary forms and data sheets are available for download through our Downloads page. Our Online Reservation Form is still active, and now you also have the option of downloading a blank Reservation Form to complete at your convenience.

We look forward to your feedback, comments, suggestions and critiques about the new site format.

Regards,
Raquel
