The Meyer Group and Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC) have signed a cooperation agreement. DSC will work with the recently established Meyer Re division of the German group, which offers shipping companies refurbishment and conversion solutions to maximise their vessel’s sustainability.
Through the cooperation with Damen, Meyer Re will secure dock capacity and manpower for customers worldwide. “In the short time since it was founded, Myer Re has brought us additional work as customers want to make their ships more attractive and sustainable,” says Jan Meyer, managing director of Meyer Werft. “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.”
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 modernisation projects.
