Alongside quality and value, flexibility has always been at the heart of the Huisfit proposition for super yacht refits,repairs and renewal. This flexibility has been delivered through a range of options, not least the choice of having the work undertaken at the shipyard in Vollenhove or at alternative deep water locations to suit the owner’s or captain’s preferences and the requirements of the project.
Access to temporarily-rented deep water locations can occasionally be restricting so the Huisfit-team decided it was time to establish a new strategic deep water facility on a permanent basis. It had to be well within range of the Dutch maritime services cluster. It had to offer exceptionally comprehensive facilities and non-tidal access. Most important of all, it had to offer complete exclusivity to Huisfit and its customers.
Royal Huisman announce that an agreement has been reached between Huisfit and Emden Dockyard that meets all of these expectations and more.
Exceptional access, facilities and connections
Huisfit has secured access to over 300,000 m 2 of outstanding facilities for its super yacht refit projects in Emden, just over the Dutch border in northern Germany. There are dry docks for super yachts of almost unlimited size, as well as state-of-the-art covered refit halls, advanced technologies and equipment, well-equipped offices, canteen facilities and comprehensive support services.
One of these halls alone measures 118 x 22m with a height of 22m, providing 2.596 m2 of clean, modern work space with work shop son both sides and on two levels – ideal for super yachts demanding controlled conditions and privacy.
Deep water approaches and lock facilities ensure round-the-clock access for yachts of any size. There are also excellent connections by air,road and rail.
Whether refit, repair, renovation or complete restoration, whether motor or sail, classic orc on temporary, aluminum, steel or composite, whether 30m or 150m, the possibilities of combining Huisfit expertise with such a facility are virtually limitless.
Huisfit has already proven itself to be the refit service of choice for yachts such as Eos, Skat, Samurai and Adèle as well as for numerous Royal Huisman-built yachts including Hyperion, Antares and Arcadia.
The addition of this superb and exclusive new facility- alongside Vollenhove and other flexible locations -will further consolidate Huisfit’s position among global leaders in super yacht refits.
