'Tarik Ben Ziyad' receives scheduled maintenance at Damen Shiprepair Brest
The Royal Moroccan Navy’s high-tech frigate 'Tarik Ben Ziyad' has returned to the Damen Shipyards Group for its first routine dry-docking after three years of operation.
The SIGMA multi-mission frigate 10513 – built at Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) in the Netherlands - underwent a month's maintenance programme at Damen Shiprepair Brest.
Knowlege sharing ensures excellent standards and strict deadlines met
The Damen Shiprepair Brest team worked closely with the original construction team at DSNS and this knowledge sharing ensured the French team executed the programme of work to an excellent standard while maintaining the strict deadline.
"We ensured that throughout 'Tarik Ben Ziyad's' docking , full client satisfaction was achieved,” explained André Hollander, General Affairs Officer at Damen Shiprepair Brest.
“Another benefit was Damen Shiprepair Brest’s French-speaking team. The Royal Moroccan Navy’s personnel are fluent in French, which meant very effective and easy communication during the docking."
“This scheduled dry-docking gave us a valuable opportunity to receive operational feedback on Damen’s high-tech naval products,” added John van Maastricht, Tender Manager Offshore/Naval & Conversion at Damen Shiprepair & Conversion.
- “We will now use this feedback to develop new innovations for the SIGMA-class series.”
- Damen’s SIGMA Naval Combatants concept is flexible, able to accommodate customer requirements.
- Vessels are designed in a modular way, using standardised solutions.
- Modules for a ship can be built in different locations around the world, depending on locally available manpower, skills and facilities.
