A Look Inside the Stabbert Maritime Group

It started in the most unlikely of ways: In 1949 Fred “Cap” Stabbert abandoned his construction business to try life aboard a crabber.

He took to it like a fish to water and, for generations of Stabberts to come, there was no going back. The first boat to enter the family fleet was a 125-foot World War II-surplus wooden minesweeper that Cap converted to a medical missionary ship. The M/V Willis Shank plied most of the west coast of the Americas, bringing medical help to isolated communities of Alaskan Inuits and Honduran Moskitos and ferrying occasional freight.

Dan Stabbert, Fred’s son and the current owner and president of Stabbert Marine Group (SMG), grew up on the boat. He took his first offshore trip when he was three days old and spent the rest of his childhood aboard the Willis Shank, learning everything there was to know-in fact, he was the ship’s de facto chief engineer by the time he was 13 and fully licensed at 17.

When Dan met his wife Cheryl, he went ashore to live, but swallowing the anchor never crossed his mind. Before long, he had bought his own tug, and then a fleet of tugs. At the same time, Dan started speculating on “hidden gems.” There was the old passenger supply vessel, that-among other tasks-wound up serving as the floating headquarters for the clean-up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Next was the offshore supply vessel he converted to a Bering Sea fishing boat. Since then, there have been a steady stream of conversions- about 30 in all. It’s a daunting prospect to take a run-down ship and give it a second chance. So Dan is justifiably proud that he’s only lost money on one.

“Dan’s a rainmaker,” said Ron Pauley, the company’s chief operating officer. “He has a real gift for finding old boats that nobody else would take a risk on and bringing them back to life.”

Old boats is an understatement. Stabbert, which operates the luxury conversion portion of their business as Venture Pacific Marine, brings good ships in bad shape back from the brink. The 125-foot Delta Taurus hit a reef off Indonesia’s Komodo Island and was declared a total loss. Stabbert bought her hull, gutted her, and did a top-to-bottom refit that became the glistening Centurion. (Type “Centurion” in the site search key for a complete story on chartering Centurion in Costa Rica.) When a fire broke out on the 143- foot Marjorie Morningstar, Stabbert raised the superyacht Devotion from her ashes. In 2004, Stabbert Maritime did a complete refit of the 172-foot Revelation (ex-Patagonia) in a mere three months-also extending her hull by four feet. No wonder the owner returned to Stabbert in 2006 when he wanted to add a helicopter pad.

However, luxury conversions like these are just one portion of the Stabbert business. Ocean Services, LLC, is the part of the operation that does similar work on commercial craft. Ocean survey vessels, research vessels, cable layers…you name it, they do it. “Around here, we say If it floats, we’ll consider it,” jokes Daniel Stabbert. Daniel, who’s in charge of marketing and project management for SMG, and his sisters Lindsay and Chela, who now work in the charter and crewing end of SMG, are the third generation of Stabberts in the business. They spent almost as much time afloat in their youth as their father did, working on multiple vessels in far-flung places. Daniel believes that this type of varied, hands-on experience is an important aspect of Stabbert’s multi-faceted success.

“We are a cradle-to-grave company-but smaller, more boutique-y,” Daniel explains. “We give the same customer service, and the same quality work, whether you bring us a crab boat or a superyacht.”

This is especially relevant to the third prong of SMG: Stabbert Yacht & Ship Shipyard (SYS), which undertakes all of the mechanical and service work for the company’s many projects. There are plans afoot to level the old wooden sheds that currently house Stabbert’s yard. In the same spot, they’re planning to build a state-of-the-art facility. Right now, there are about 100 workers in this yard, another 100 in their Houston satellite yard, and 150 to 200 Stabbert crew members on vessels around the world.

If it seems like there’s nothing these guys can’t do, it’s because there isn’t. Stabbert is a vertically integrated company, with the ability to break big jobs into smaller pieces and expertly field them through separate specialty units. That means they not only get a bigger piece of the pie-they get the whole pie. And that kind of top-to-bottom diversification, combined with a commitment to customer service, is especially valuable now.

“In this tough economy, we’re always asking ourselves what’s our edge, how do we maintain this growth spurt?” says Ron. That kind of creative thought has lead Stabbert to offer financing to new owners who buy conversion proposals-a smart move that shares the risk, but also reassures a new owner that the shipyard shares the goal of getting the job done.

“We have a unique software system that allows clients to check the accounting status of their job in real time,” Ron notes. “They can see every nickel that’s been spent-and the accounting is broken down into task items.” This lets an owner see, for instance, that his job is running on schedule and under budget on the electrical work. So, maybe some of the extras that didn’t make the first cut get added back into the job. “More often then not, owners actually decide to spend more money when they have this level of control,” explains Ron.

Stabbert’s expertise is complemented by the fact that some of the maritime world’s best mechanics, technicians, marine suppliers, and craftsmen call Seattle home. In fact, Dan’s brother Don owns and runs Salmon Bay Marine Center, ( www.salmonbaymarinecenter.com ), just across the canal. It’s the largest superyacht facility on the West Coast and Westport, Fraser, Grand Banks, and other nautical heavy-hitters have offices there. The Ballard area, where Stabbert is located, is ground zero for work boats, too. That’s why you’ll find the Deadliest Catch fleet, as well as less televised fishing boats, putting in for work here before they start another season in the Bering Sea. “We know that when a ship leaves our yard, it has to be rock solid,” Daniel adds, mentioning their 205-foot research vessel Ocean Pioneer. Right now, Stabbert has a crew refitting the ship with a Dynamic Positioning System. They have a month to complete this complicated systems integration and just one chance to get it right: When Ocean Pioneer casts off, it’s for a 22,000-mile journey as a tsunami buoy tender in Indonesia.

So, what new seas are left to explore for the yard that does everything? “We are totally committed to the superyacht arena,” says Ron. “It’s here today, and it will be here tomorrow.” He is quick to add that Stabbert is also committed to construction of new commercial vessels and will never abandon their workboat origins.

But there’s no denying the excitement they show about a contract they’re close to signing for their first new build, a 110-foot superyacht. Daniel grins, “We’ll finally get to break a bottle.” If that’s their plan, Stabbert’s next move will probably be to buy a vineyard.

CEO Dan Stabbert and Paul Madden, Head of Sales, announced the sale of the 308 ft ex-NOAA Research Ship Sahara to a European buyer. This vessel is currently undergoing a complete re-fit and conversion at Stabbert Yacht and Ship (SYS) in Seattle. The vessel will be exported from the US and may benefit from a new export financing program that SYS is offering to international buyers.

There were 43 people on board of the aircraft: 31 died, 12 were hospitalized with burns and severe injuries. Our condolences to the families and friends of the dead and injured.

History of Tyumen

Foundation of tyumen.

In the 13th-16th centuries, on the banks of the Tyumenka River, there was the capital of the Tyumen Khanate - Chingi-Tura. The construction of the Russian fortified settlement of Tyumen began near the remains of Chingi-Tura in the summer of 1586, during the conquest of Siberia by the Russians.

In the Russian chronicles of the 16th century, the Tyumen Khanate was called “Great Tyumen”. “Tumen” (“tyumyan”) in Turkic languages means “lower reaches of the river”, “lowland”. The same word also means a military unit 10 thousand people strong.

Tyumen was founded as an outpost for the conquest and development of Siberia and the Far East on the old caravan road from Central Asia to the Volga region. Waterways connected Tyumen with the lands of the Far North and East. The original population of Tyumen, as a frontier town, consisted of boyars (Russian nobility), streltsy (Russian firearm infantry), and Cossacks. In 1616, the Trinity Monastery was founded in Tyumen by the monk Nifont.

In the first years after its foundation, Tyumen was subjected to attacks by Tatars and Kalmyks. Over time, with the disappearance of the military threat, crafts became the primary occupation of the townspeople (blacksmithing, bell-making, soap-making, and tanning).

More Historical Facts…

Tyumen in the 17th-19th centuries

One century after its foundation, about 2 thousand people lived in Tyumen. In 1695, a fire broke out, as a result of which the wooden town burned down. After that, stone construction began in Tyumen. Of the stone structures of that time, the complex of buildings of the Trinity Monastery has been preserved.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Tyumen was a major transit point for trade; trade routes from China and all of Siberia to the center of Russia passed through the town. Tyumen was famous for the production of furniture and other wood products. In 1763, 6,593 people lived here, of whom 317 were artisans.

In the 19th century, simultaneously with the decline of Tobolsk, rapid growth began in Tyumen. In 1836, the first steamer in Siberia was launched in Tyumen. It became one of the largest river shipbuilding bases in the Russian Empire. In 1885, the Yekaterinburg-Tyumen railway was put into operation. At the end of the century, the cargo turnover of the Tyumen port reached 230 thousand tons per year, and the port itself was called “the gateway to Siberia”.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the number of residents of Tyumen reached 30 thousand and exceeded the population of Tobolsk. In Tyumen, there were 117 factories, including 3 shipyards, 2 steam mills, 70 tanneries, and other enterprises. In 1913, the Tyumen-Omsk railway connected the city with the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Tyumen in the 20th century and beyond

From 1923 to 1934, Tyumen was the center of the Tyumen District within Ural Oblast. On January 17, 1934, this huge region was divided into three oblasts - Sverdlovsk Oblast with the center in Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg), Chelyabinsk Oblast with the center in Chelyabinsk, and Ob-Irtysh Oblast with the center in Tyumen. From December 7, 1935 to August 14, 1944, Tyumen was part of Omsk Oblast. In 1939, the population of Tyumen was 79,205 people.

During the Second World War, the industrial potential of Tyumen increased significantly due to the enterprises evacuated from the European part of the USSR. In total, 22 evacuated enterprises were operating in the city, producing armored boats, mortars, motorcycles, electrical equipment for tanks, shells, mines, short fur coats, felt boots, and food. About 20 thousand residents of Tyumen fought at the front.

On August 14, 1944, Tyumen Oblast was formed - the largest region in the country in terms of area. The distance from the southernmost point of the region to the northernmost point was 2,100 km, and from west to east - 1,400 km. Tyumen became the administrative center of this new region.

In the 1960s, large deposits of oil and natural gas were discovered in the north of the Tyumen region, which became a new page in the history of Tyumen. In 1966, the construction of the Tyumen - Tobolsk - Surgut - Nizhnevartovsk railway began. A lot of enterprises of the city began to work for the oil and natural gas extraction industry.

Tyumen became the starting point and transshipment point for the delivery of goods to the North. New specialized enterprises, design institutes, and higher educational institutions were opened in the city. From 1959 to 1979, the population of Tyumen doubled - from 150 to 359 thousand people.

Tyumen Oblast became the country’s main oil and natural gas energy base. By the end of the 1980s, about 400 million tons of oil and 574 billion cubic meters of natural gas were annually produced here. In 1989, the population of Tyumen was 476,869 people.

In the 2010s, Tyumen was significantly transformed: new micro-districts, roads, bridges were built, streets were expanded. In 2015, the 700 thousandth inhabitant of the city was born. In 2020, the population of Tyumen exceeded 800 thousand people. In today’s Russia Tyumen is one of the fastest growing cities.

Tyumen - Features

Tyumen is located in the south of Western Siberia, in the Asian part of Russia, on both banks of the Tura, the left tributary of the Tobol River. Tyumen is a large industrial city, the oil and natural gas capital of Russia, as the administrative center of the largest oil and natural gas producing region. The City Day of Tyumen is celebrated on the last Saturday of July.

The climate in Tyumen is transitional from moderately continental to sharply continental. The average temperature in January is minus 15 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 18.8 degrees Celsius. The warm period lasts only 3-4 months here. The longest seasons are autumn and spring. The weather in the city can change quickly, in the morning it is sunny and warm, and in the evening it is snowy and frosty.

Today’s coat of arms of Tyumen is generally very similar to the historical coat of arms approved in 1785. The image of a wooden river boat, according to the historical description, means that “from this town begins sailing along the rivers of all Siberia.”

The Trans-Siberian Railway “Moscow - Vladivostok” passes through Tyumen. At present, it is the only transcontinental railway that completely passes through the territory of Russia. It is adjoined by the Tyumen - Novy Urengoy railway line, which serves the transportation of the northern regions. The main feature of the Tyumen transport hub is that it is the only point of connection to the all-Russian transport network of the main transport communications of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The main air gateway to Tyumen is the international airport “Roshchino” named after D. I. Mendeleev. Located about 13 km west of Tyumen, this airport offers regular flights to such cities as Kaliningrad, Krasnodar, Moscow, Nizhnevartovsk, Novy Urengoy, Perm, Rostov-on-Don, Salekhard, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Surgut, Ufa, Khanty-Mansiysk, and a number of others.

Oil and natural gas of the Tyumen region contributed to the rapid growth of scientific organizations in the city. In total, several dozen research and design institutes are located here. Fundamental science is represented by the Institute of the Earth’s Cryosphere and the Institute for the Problems of the Development of the North.

The beautiful wooden architecture of Tyumen should be noted separately.

Often, styles are combined, complemented by local motifs, forming a unique look of wooden architecture, characteristic only of Tyumen.

During the war, the body of V. I. Lenin was evacuated from Moscow to Tyumen; the functions of the mausoleum were temporarily performed by the building of the current Tyumen State Agricultural Academy.

In 1942, a single copy of a winged tank was built in Tyumen. Developed by aircraft designer Antonov from 1941 to 1943, it was a T-60 tank loaded on a glider (“Wings of a Tank”).

In February 1944, for two weeks, the Tyumen militia were catching cats in the city to send them to the Hermitage (Leningrad), where during the blockade numerous rodents bred, posing a threat to works of art. 238 cats were sent to the northern capital of Russia and gave rise to a new population of Leningrad cats.

Main Attractions of Tyumen

Embankment of the Tura River - one of the main walking areas of Tyumen. It is especially pleasant to walk here in the summer heat. The length of the embankment is 4 km. It runs along the right bank of the Tura River in the central part of the city. The four levels of the embankment have a total height of 24 meters. City holidays, festivals, concerts, etc. are held here.

At night, the Tyumen embankment looks especially beautiful, thanks to the illumination of the Lovers’ Bridge (a cable-stayed pedestrian bridge, where newlyweds come after the solemn registration of marriage). There are cafes and restaurants within walking distance from the embankment. The Tura River is navigable, so you can look at the Tyumen embankment from the water during a boat trip.

There are a lot of sculptures on the boulevard, the characters most beloved by the locals - clowns Nikulin, Karandash, and Oleg Popov - can be found near the Tyumen circus.

In the amusement park, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Tyumen from the Ferris wheel.

Siberian Cats Square - a unique place of its kind, often included in the lists of the most original sights of Tyumen. In 2008, on this then unnamed alley, 12 cast-iron gilded figures of cats were installed, sitting in different poses on stone pedestals.

This was done in memory of the fact that during the Second World War, after the blockade of Leningrad was broken, about 5 thousand cats were sent to the city from different places of the country to catch numerous rats. By that time, there were no cats in Leningrad, they were all eaten. 238 cats were taken from Tyumen to the northern capital specifically to protect the priceless storage facilities of the Hermitage and other Leningrad palaces and museums.

Monument to Grigory Rasputin - an art object located in the heart of Tyumen, in Aptekarskiy Garden, near the city Perinatal Center. Grigory Rasputin (1869-1916) is a highly controversial personality in Russian history known for his friendship with the family of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II. They believed that he had the talents of perspicacity and healing. This gave Rasputin the opportunity to exert a great influence on the administration of the Russian Empire in the last years of its existence.

This monument was erected here for a reason. In the summer of 1914, Rasputin was taken to a hospital located near the garden with a knife wound to the abdominal cavity. He was brought from afar, from his native village of Pokrovskoye. Later, for some time, Rasputin worked here as a medical orderly.

The sculpture is a full-length image of Rasputin - a tall man with a thick beard. He is dressed in the so-called “Siberian coat” - a traditional Russian caftan. The left hand rests on a Viennese chair - an exact copy of the original chair from the Rasputin Museum located in the village of Pokrovskoye. There are city legends about this monument. It is said that men, by sitting down on this chair, can be cured of their illnesses, as well as get a career progression. Daudel’naya Street, 7.

Grigory Rasputin Museum . This museum is located in the village of Pokrovskoye (Sovetskaya Street, 79), about 80 km from Tyumen, if you drive in the direction of Tobolsk. A lot of secrets, mysteries, and hoaxes are associated with the name of Rasputin. Therefore, visiting this museum will be interesting for those who are interested in Russian history.

The museum was created thanks to the enthusiasm of fellow villagers of Rasputin in 1990. They collected things and documents related to his personality and family. It was the first private museum in the USSR. The building of the museum is not much different from the rest of the village houses on this street, but this is not the original house in which the Rasputin family lived, but a reconstructed one. The original one was demolished in 1980. Every Saturday and Sunday, at 11:00 am, a two-hour excursion is held.
