The MEYER Group and the Dutch shiprepair company Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC), part of Damen Shipyards Group, have signed a joint cooperation agreement. DSC will work with the recently established company MEYER RE, a subsidiary of the MEYER Group, which has been active for nearly a year. MEYER RE offers shipping companies solutions to maximize their vessel’s sustainability, ideally throughout their lifecycle from development and build to supporting them through their operating lives and finally end-of-life recycling.
"Thanks to the cooperation with the family-owned, Dutch company Damen Ship Repair & Conversion Holding BV, we are moving even closer to our customers by securing dock capacity and manpower for our customers worldwide," says Alexander Höfling, Managing Director of MEYER RE.
“In the short time since it was founded, MEYER RE has brought us additional work as customers want to make their ships more attractive and sustainable," added Jan Meyer, Managing Director of MEYER WERFT. "It has generated orders across our group including our shipyards. However, as we do not have our own repair and docking capacities, this cooperation agreement with DSC is of particular importance to us as we now have access to the resources we need."
MEYER RE offers various services for shipping companies in close cooperation with other specialists within the MEYER Group and now with DSC. Initially the two groups will work on the design and implementation of sustainable systems up to the complete conversion and / or installation of new power plants on board (including LNG, methanol, batteries and fuel cells solutions), as well as implementing entire modernization projects.
Damen Shipyards Group has been in operation for over ninety years and offers maritime solutions worldwide, through design, construction, conversion and repair of ships and ship components. Damen operates 35 shipyards and 20 other companies in 20 countries, supported by a worldwide sales and service network directly employing more than 12,000 people.
