Alewijnse wins maintenance contract

Its role in MPI Resolution’s maintenance requires Alewijnse to work on the vessel’s electrical systems. Two auxiliary alternators, four main alternators and 12 electric motors will be repaired in a special workshop in the Netherlands.

The reconditioning service includes the electric isolation of the units, their disconnection and reconnection and their transport to and from the Damen Arno Dunkerque shipyard.

“To perform the maintenance for the key electrical components on this vessel is a valuable vote of confidence in Alewijnse and its capabilities,” said Yuri Nieuwenhuizen, contract manager, Alewijnse Marine Rotterdam.

“Our ability to deploy the right number of staff with the right skills to wherever they are required gives clients like Damen the reassurance that their exact needs will always be met, at the agreed quality and pricing levels,” he added.

The works will be carried out by a team of service engineers within a time frame of five weeks.

Alewijnse has recently undertaken a number of similar maintenance projects at Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen, where it has a permanent service and maintenance facility.
