About Us.

Centrally located with deep maritime roots, Calwell is the trusted choice for world-class marine services in Australasia.

Our location provides on-site access to several internationally recognised marine engineering firms, electrical and communication contractors, fabricators, surveyors, sailmakers, riggers, upholsterers, and cabinetmakers. Situated just a 10-minute walk from the CBD and with easy access to a wide range of modern support services, doing business in Nelson is both convenient and practical.

Calwell is built on the foundations of the Calwell Slipway, a trusted name in vessel maintenance. We service vessels from 200 to 2,400 tonnes. Our slipway is also an MPI Transitional Facility, allowing us to safely clean vessels arriving from international waters. Our 550 tonne Cimolai Travel Lift and Hardstand area caters for vessels from 50 to 550 tonnes. If you require Customs Clearance, Port Nelson is a Port of First Arrival where you can be cleared to enter New Zealand, before coming across to Calwell.

Nelson is home to outstanding mountain biking, you can hike the famous Abel Tasman National Park or visit stunning Lake Rotoiti while your vessel is on site – all within driving distance to our facility. Accommodation and fabulous restaurants catering for all budgets are located close by.

  • From startups to seasoned brands, we partner with people who care about doing things right—and doing them well.
