Robert E. Derecktor Inc. (Derecktor Shipyard) and Damen Shipyard Group (DAMEN) have entered into a license agreement authorizing Derecktor to act as an official builder of DAMEN designs.
Derecktor will now offer its customers Pilot Boats and Wind Farm Support Vessels (WFSVs) by combining the wide range and international experience of DAMEN designs with its American craftsmanship.
The core vessels of Derecktor’s “H” Series are designed by DAMEN, but customized by Derecktor to include US components, modular propulsion units, and enhanced personnel transfer systems.
The agreement also provides for Damen Technical Cooperation Services, including experienced personnel for the onsite management and supervision of any and all construction projects.
All of the technology and know-how of DAMEN, including drawings, specifications and design information, is now at the fingertips of Derecktor for the benefit of their customers in the United States.
