A busy few months for Nauplius Workboats as the company acquires a shipyard and launches a new vessel.
Nauplius Workboats has acquired the assets of Scheepswerf Delfzijl v/h Hunfeld. The shipyard will continue its operations under the name Nauplius Workboats Repair.
Together, Nauplius Workboats Newbuilding, Nauplius Workboats Repair, and Argos Engineering now offer an integrated range of services covering design, engineering, newbuild, repair, maintenance, and vessel conversions.
“We are delighted to welcome the shipyard's experienced team to the Nauplius family and look forward to supporting our customers and partners with even greater expertise, capacity, and continuity. Here's to a strong future together!”
Built for strategic partner Royal IHC, the new Nauplius DMC1450 has officially been launched and is now afloat, marking another important milestone in the project. The DMC1450 will soon begin her next chapter, supporting dredging operations in the Middle East.
