The small shipyard is located on Water Street with single slipway along Georgetown Harbour. The scheme extended the facilities of the harbour, with a new slipway and outer harbour. The town is south from the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry slipway. Seaplanes were served with a floating dock and a slipway. Her Rigid Inflatable Boat is launched and recovered from her stern slipway. The port also includes a 100,000-dwt dry dock and slipway facility. The first slipway (No. 0) has end-launch building ways and blocking docks. Her most notable feature was the seaplane slipway that comprised three sections. Permanent hangars, workshops, accommodation and a new double slipway were soon constructed, however. Each individual docking bay featured a raised slipway. The nautical terms ways and skids are alternative names for slipway. The battleship was launched on 15 April 1920 to clear the slipway. Reassembly began on a specially-prepared slipway eight days later. One slipway (1774) survives unaltered from this period (Slip No.1)&colon; a rare survival. Bongoyo Island can be reached by boat from the Msasani Slipway.
