Damen opens 12th service hub

Located at the Damen Song Cam shipyard in Haiphong, Vietnam, Damen Services South-East Asia will support Damen’s warranty and asset management design department in Gorinchem, The Netherlands, as well as optimising onboard systems on all vessels at the yard before expanding to offer a full range of business services.

“With this new hub we will be able to serve our clients in South-East Asia as a strategic partner,” said Michiel Hendrikx, sales director for the Asia Pacific area at Damen.

“Our global network of service hubs enables Damen to deliver support anytime and anywhere in the world, and the opening of the Vietnamese hub is the latest development in our aim to ensure that our clients are never far away from Damen support and expertise.”

Benefits of the new hub include:

• Improved client support in the south-east Asia area
• Easier access for hub engineers to Damen Song Cam Shipyard colleagues who built the vessels
• Lifecycle support for vessels in the region backed by Damen Services head office in Gorinchem

“The opening of a service hub at Damen Song Cam Shipyard will be an asset to our clients in many ways,” said Joris van Tienen, managing director at Damen Song Cam Shipyard.

“Being a newbuild shipyard, we will be able to improve our new vessels even more by learning from the issues the service engineers encounter during their work.”
