There is an online resource we use which may help you in your search. We refer to it as our 'bible' for information on Combat Engineers.

Go to - read online - in LH column and then move the cursor at the foot of the page to required page(s).
Pages 355 to 363 mention the port repair ships and there may be other references in the volume. Sadly although 1071st is mentioned the 1072nd is not.
