Big Top Manufacturing was selected to cover this dry dock for four major reasons:

1. Total Protection -- the Big Top Cover allows a yacht to be covered or uncovered in a matter of minutes. The cover is made out of a heavy-duty vinyl product which will last many years. It provides rain, sun, and dust protection for fine yachts undergoing repair.
2. Rapid Mobility -- the cover is fabricated in 3 sections of which 2 are movable on rails. This allows the cover to be retracted when the yacht is moved into the dry dock. After the yacht is lowered, by pumping the water from the dry dock, the cover can be easily moved to completely cover the yacht.
3. Crane Access -- When crane access to any portion of the yacht is needed, the cover can move in either direction. This will allow quick access to the proper area for major equipment repairs.
4. Total Solution -- Big Top provided an economical total solution to repairing yachts under controlled conditions. The frame and cover will be completely erected in 22 days. This minimizes downtime for the dock as well as allows for immediate accommodations. Malta Dry Dock has recently completed many upgrades to their facility.
