Albwardy Damen expands afloat repairs business to Sohar Port and Freezone

The expansion of Albwardy Damen’s a full range of afloat, workshop, and diving services at Sohar adds to the yard’s Afloat Repairs Division’s workshop facilities in Dubai, Sharjah, and Fujairah.  

“Our strategic expansion into Sohar has been driven by demand from customers and other stakeholders. Albwardy Damen is the first ship repair company to have a presence in Oman’s rapidly growing logistics hub,” said Willem Moelker, sales and marketing director, Albwardy Damen.

“By establishing this new venture, vessels in Sohar which require repairs and maintenance will be able to get on their way as soon as possible. Our engineers can be on board within hours, reducing mobilisation and repair times dramatically,” he added.

Vessels calling at Sohar can also benefit from nearby Albwardy Damen Diving, which has been serving the marine industry since 1995.

Albwardy Damen is a joint venture between Albwardy Investment, Dubai and the Damen Shipyards Group, the Netherlands.
