Sublift Appoints Eyemouth Marine as Official UK and Ireland Distributor and Service Partner

The agreement was signed in Simrishamn by Björn Andersson, VD/CEO of Simrishamns Varv AB, and Neil Harrison, Managing Director of Eyemouth Marine Limited.
Based at Eyemouth Harbour in the Scottish Borders, Eyemouth Marine already operates a 50-tonne Sublift as part of its own vessel-handling operations. This gives the team direct experience of the equipment in a working boatyard environment and a practical understanding of the requirements of commercial and leisure marine customers.

Neil Harrison, Managing Director of Eyemouth Marine Limited, said:

“We have worked with Sublift equipment in our own yard for many years, so we know the machines, their capabilities and the importance of dependable aftersales support.

This agreement means customers across the UK and Ireland will have a dedicated point of contact for new equipment, servicing, technical support and spare parts.

We’re looking forward to working closely with Sublift and supporting both existing owners and new customers across the market.”

Sublift has been manufacturing self-propelled, submersible boat hoists since the late 1980s. The current range includes standard lifting capacities of 12, 25, 50 and 90 tonnes, alongside customised machines suited to military and other specific user requirements.

Designed to launch, recover and move vessels using a slipway, Sublift equipment is used by marinas, boatyards and commercial operators for the handling of sailing yachts, motorboats and commercial vessels for maintenance, repair and storage. Sublift currently operates within markets across Europe and internationally, including Austrailia, Malaysia, and Mexico.

The new agreement combines Sublift’s Swedish manufacturing experience with Eyemouth Marine’s boatyard, vessel-handling and marine engineering capabilities, providing UK and Irish customers with local access to equipment, servicing and spare parts.
