Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen

Collaboration in a Complex Maintenance and Upgrade Project

The project

Region: Amsterdam, The Netherlands

CoWaves finished a remarkable project assisting Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen with a complex maintenance and upgrade program of a maritime vessel. Working closely with Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen, the project spanned a duration of 16 months and, with over 20 subcontractors involved, it required meticulous planning and management of various scopes. The final few weeks of the docking period were particularly critical, as they focused on effectively coordinating both the different subcontractors and the various in-house disciplines to ensure timely undocking.
