Vessel Works has been master planned around the concept of multiple marine service and supply businesses establishing themselves around the perimeter of an open hardstand.
The onsite businesses are supplemented by a significant number of local service and supply businesses located across Tauranga, Mt Maunganui and the Bay of Plenty. All local marine businesses can be found within the Tauranga Marine Industry Association’s convenient directory which can be viewed here.
We’d be happy to provide references for the companies below or others from across the region,
