Albwardy Damen has received two shipyards awards within a month for excellence

On 19 April, during the MASTECH Conference in Dubai, Albwardy Damen received the prestigious Best UAE Shipyard Award for 2017. On 16 May, it received the accolade of Best New Building Yard at the presentation ceremony for the International Maritime Awards. This was held at the two-day Shiptek 2017 Conference in Dubai.

The trophies were accepted on each occasion by Albwardy Damen managing director Lars Seistrup.

?To receive two awards within such a short space of time is the ultimate in customer satisfaction feedback as well as recognition for the hard work that all our staff are putting in every day,? said managing director Lars Seistrup.

?Delivering safety and quality at the right price to our customers is very important to us in these very challenging market conditions. We are very pleased to receive these awards as they show that our suppliers and clients value the quality of the vessels that we build and the services that we provide.?

Albwardy Damen is a joint venture between the Damen Shipyards Group and UAE-based Albwardy Investment. The group operates from four locations across the UAE and has the facilities to repair and construct all type of vessels. Recent deliveries included tugs, workboats, support vessels, dredgers, landing craft, floating docks, barges and pontoons to operators in and around the Arabian Gulf.

The main yard, located in the Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah, was officially opened in January 2014 and continues to meet the highest standards of modern ship construction and repair. Among its many facilities, it features a new covered build hall, a 5,200-tonne ship lift and eight dry berths, each 125 metres in length.

According to the company press release, this year, to further strengthen its position as a high-quality provider of ship repair services, Albwardy Damen is constructing a new office and workshop facility in Dubai Maritime City. This expansion will enable Albwardy Damen to offer its full portfolio of ship repair activities to customers in Dubai Maritime City and will seamlessly integrate with the existing business units in Al Jadaf, Sharjah and Fujairah.
