company profile

Our history

The Idea for Shipwright Services started in June of 2017, with Derick Wright taking a 6 month sabbatical from Shipping to re-evaluate himself and what he wants to do in Shipping. Having worked in the business for 13 years, in Stevedoring and Ships Agency, he realised there is a general lack of Customer service and general work ethic, to the point where Customers are told what to expect and not asked what do they want

With a few like minded individuals’ support as well as support of his family, Shipwright Services was born. The aim is not to be just a Ships Agency, but rather a full service one stop shop. We want to be able to assist from logistics getting cargo from the mine, to the loading and any other service that may be required.

Our history Continued

With a vast network of surveyors, consultants and service providers, we are in the best position to give you the service required, on the Customers’ terms and therefore streamlined to suit your needs.

We are lucky enough to already have a few strong individuals onboard and will hope to expand the team as the business grows in the future.

We are also level 4 BEE with near future plans to increase to Level 2.

Our philosophy

With over 13 years of Stevedoring and Ships Agency experienced, we will be able to provide the best service possible. We will focus on Ships Agency, Husbandry matters, as well as related Shipping matters, where required.

With a network of like-minded individuals, we will be able to assist with all Shipping requirements, from Mine to vessel.

As the company grows, we are looking to put back into the community and looking to start a learnership in the near future. With the assistance of the IDZ, we want to find like minded individuals in the local community and give them the tools and assistance to make a future in Shipping.

Like our motto states - SHIPPING DONE RIGHT!

Shipbuilding Engineer
Professional Marine Engineer with 24 years experience working in the shipbuilding industry: offshore as ship’s engineering crew, in shipping company engineering operations, and in shipyard engineering teams. My offshore and operations experience has given me skills in Safety Management Systems implementation, power plant management, DP vessel operation, training and organizing engineering crews, oversight of maintenance planning, liquid and dry bulk cargo handling and offshore cargo transfer, creating positive interaction with passengers, and leading teams through projects from start to finish. Ashore, I’ve developed additional skills in maintenance software crew training, ship systems design and testing, project plan scheduling and budgeting, setting up third party vendors, integration and requisitioning of machinery into ship systems, and inventory system creation. My time at sea and in an office has taught me that planning ahead, integrating safety into every job, and practicing quality communication are the keys to success.

Jeffrey Toni Vendel

Shipbuilding Engineer
Professional Marine Engineer with 24 years experience working in the shipbuilding industry
I feel that the development of the ship required by customers is the most responsive. In the business negotiations for the world’s largest container ship with a capacity of 20,000, we brushed up the ship shape while making proposals to ship owners in US , Germany , Singapore and other countries with the design staff and the elaborated basic drawings. Eventually, after the competition, we succeeded in receiving an order from a shipping company all around the world.
