Concordia Damen starts major refit project for Reederei Deymann
(Posted on 04/11/25)
Concordia Damen has received a new contract from Reederei Deymann, one of Germany’s largest inland shipping companies, for the extensive refit of a dry cargo vessel Hirschhorn. The vessel recently arrived at the Concordia Damen yard in Werkendam, where the transformation project has now started. The project marks another example of the company’s expertise in sustainable fleet renewal.
The refit involves the complete renewal of the aft ship. Originally equipped with a single engine, single propeller shaft and an outdated living and wheelhouse arrangement, the vessel will undergo a transformation at Concordia Damen’s yard in Werkendam.
The aft section will be cut off in front of the accommodation to replace the old configuration with a twin-shaft propulsion system powered by two new, fuel-efficient diesel-electric 630 KWE engines.
In addition, the accommodation and wheelhouse will be completely rebuilt, offering greater comfort, improved ergonomics and visibility, and compliance with modern operational standards.
Lifetime extension
The refit will significantly extend the vessel’s lifetime, enhance propulsion efficiency and reliability, and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, the new configuration enables the vessel to sail in shallow water conditions.
Bert Duijzer, Technical Director, at Concordia Damen, says:
“This project shows how a well-planned refit can give a reliable vessel a new life. We are proud to support Reederei Deymann in keeping their fleet efficient, sustainable and competitive for years to come. Our team in Werkendam has started the work, and we look forward to delivering another successful project together.”
Concordia Damen’s refit projects are part of its broader mission to combine sustainability with smart shipbuilding, and helping shipowners modernize their fleets cost-effectively and responsibly.
