A yard configured around the work

From preparation to assembly

The yard brings together steel cutting, prefabrication and assembly facilities. Machine and pipe workshops support the installation work, while joinery and carpentry facilities serve interior outfitting. Bringing these disciplines into one project plan helps define how work moves between the workshops, building hall and waterfront.

Planning a yard period

Every vessel has its own requirements. Length, beam, draft, access, lifting needs and the intended work sequence are the starting points for discussing a suitable arrangement. The published site dimensions describe the facilities; they do not by themselves confirm that a particular vessel or operation can be accommodated. We assess the proposed scope and availability with you.

Facilities with the support you need

For an Open Shipyard project, an agreed part of the site can be allocated to an owner or project organisation. The arrangements can include workspace, equipment rental and practical services, with additional project management or consultancy where required. Access, responsibilities and use of shared facilities are agreed within De Hoop’s operating framework.
