Maintenance stopover for DFDS 'Côte Des Dunes' RoPax at Damen Shiprepair Dunkerque
In February 2019, Dame Shiprepair Dunkerque (DSDu) hosted the 186-metre RoPax ferry Côte Des Dunes for an eight-day maintenance stop. Owned by DFDS, one of northern Europe’s leading ferry operators, the vessel serves on Europe’s busiest ferry route, from the UK’s Dover to Calais in France.
With the Côte Des Dunes having completed a full refit in 2016, the work sheet for the eight days at DSDu covered a range of mostly small projects, with a complete hydro-blasting and repaint of her entire hull below the waterline being the most significant. At the same time her thrusters were removed and overhauled and a series of small steel repairs undertaken on board along with a number of clearances and tank cleaning assignments. She left the yard on time and fully ready to continue the frantic life of a short-haul, cross channel ferry.
Built in 2001, following her recent refit the Côte Des Dunes can accommodate 1500 passengers and 400 cars in considerable comfort for the 1 hour 30 minutes crossing.
Damen Shiprepair Dunkerque is strategically situated just a short distance east of Calais and that combined with its excellent facilities has given it particular expertise in the maintenance and repair of ferries as well as dredgers and offshore vessels.
