Damen Shiprepair Curaçao (DSCu) has been boosted by the arrival of two floating drydocks imported to the Caribbean island from Europe.
The Dutch group said their arrival represents a “significant uplift in capability in the region” and that it fulfills the undertaken given by Damen to the government of Curaçao when it took over the yard in 2017.
The two docks were delivered by the Cosco Heavy Transport’s 98,000-dwt Xin Guang Hua (built 2016) to the Port of Willemstad, Curacao
The larger of the two is a panamax dock measuring 230 metres by 45 metres for tankers, containerships and other large vessels.
