Dutch superyacht builder increases capacity and efficiency.
Waterfront: Amels Grows with the Industry

Inspired by its 10 new-build projects in various stages of design, engineering and construction, Amels, a division of Damen Shipyards Group, is undergoing a phased improvement of its Vlissingen facilities on the North Sea. The company hopes to increase production efficiency, advance construction quality and enhance on-time delivery of its Custom and Limited Editions yachts and major refits. The program, representing an investment of more than eight million euros, will be completed in 2009.

Since 2000, Amels has shared the vast covered dry docks and the expert naval architects, engineers and designers of Damen’s Royal Schelde shipyard. Within that facility, Amels will soon complete the second of two new state-of-the-art covered finishing bays. Other new construction and conversions will come on line as well. Another Royal Schelde facility a few kilometers away has been assigned to building the steel hulls of the Limited Editions Amels 212s.
