Fresh Paintwork for the Motor Training Vessels of the Maritieme Academie Harlingen
Fresh Paintwork for the Motor Training Vessels of the Maritieme Academie Harlingen
Damen Shiprepair Harlingen provides its services to all kinds of specialist vessels, and a recent project involved the maintenance of three ships operated by Maritieme Academie Harlingen.
The academy uses the motor ship Prinses Maxima, the tank barge Prinses Amalia and the dry cargo vessel Emeli to train young people from primary school age upwards in the skills required for a career of seafaring. They operate on the Dutch inland waterways and in its coastal estuaries.
The Prinses Amalia required the most extensive works, with the decks requiring ultra-high-pressure blasting (hydro-jetting with water) followed by repainting. This the yard did in cooperation with students from the academy, for whom the exercise formed part of their course. The hull was also cleaned, using a standard high-pressure washer, and then repainted.
Flexible use of nearby facilities
With DSHL otherwise fully booked, Prinses Maxima and Emeli were berthed at the nearby Damen facility at Oudeschild Texel, part of Damen Shiprepair Den Helder. There, their hulls were similarly cleaned and repainted. The ability to access extra yard capacity nearby, combined with excellent coordination between the two sites, ensured that the project was completed on time and to the highest quality.
DSHL has a longstanding relationship with the Maritieme Academie Harlingen and the three vessels have visited in the past for maintenance and repairs. Their owners appreciate the short lines of communication, the usually easy availability of dock space and the fact that the yard’s project managers are skilled at finding effective and economical solutions.
