Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC) has taken over Dutch repair yard D. van de Wetering in Rotterdam, one of the oldest ship repair companies in North West Europe having been operational since 1880.
D. van de Wetering specialises in all types of above-the-waterline repairs to sea-going vessels, and has extensive experience in delivering 24/7 harbour and voyage repairs across Europe. Damen will integrate these harbour and voyage activities into its existing network of Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC) locations. These currently stretch across North-Western Europe into the Middle East and as far as Singapore and South Africa.
Damen now has eleven hubs across five continents in operation or in the process of being established providing support and a wide range of repair and other services.
Continuity Guaranteed
As of Monday 5 October, the D. van de Wetering yard at the Bunschotenweg in the Eemhaven in Rotterdam will cease operations, and all activities will be transferred to Damen Shiprepair Van Brink in Pernis. Customers can continue to use existing contact details for the yard, which will be transferred directly to DSC.
The engineers of Van de Wetering will be added to Damen’s existing pool of around seventy worldwide operating field service engineers.
