Founded in 1966, Hoverwork has accumulated more experience in different types of amphibious craft operation than any other commercial organisation.

Locations : Over the years Hoverwork has operated in most areas of the world. From Spitzbergen in the Arctic Circle to Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean and from Venezuela to the Far East. Situations have ranged from Hovercraft operations over ice to desert locations. Many of the fifty or so Hovercraft contracts have been in support of seismic surveying for the oil and gas industry, mostly in the Middle East.

Tasks : Hoverwork's first contract was to provide hovercraft and crew for the Matt Helm film "Murderers Row" which starred Dean Martin. Subsequently most Hovercraft contracts have been more workmanlike in nature !


As well as the numerous seismic surveying contracts other examples include:-

Gravity Survey - Bahrain
Exploration - Amazon/Orinoco
Passengers - Algeria
Logistics to drilling rig - Holland
Passengers - Sweden/Finland
Hospital Service - Australia
Geomorphological Studies - Severn Estuary & Solway Firth
Crew Training - Middle & Far East
Passengers for Expo 86 - Vancouver
