Royal IHC has acquired Maritime Design & Engineering Services (MD&ES), based in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, the Netherlands. It is the company's second takeover in less than two months after acquiring a 50 per cent stake in the Rotterdam Offshore Group (ROG).
MD&ES provides engineering services to a wide range of clients in the maritime sector, including Royal IHC. Its services vary from feasibility studies and concept designs to detailed engineering.
Following the acquisition, the MD&ES staff will continue their activities within the department of IHC Engineering. Mr Wim van de Voorde, former General Manager at MD&ES, will become Director Engineering Shipbuilding at IHC.
