Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC) has taken over Dutch repair yard D. van de Wetering in Rotterdam, one of the oldest ship repair companies in Northwest Europe having been operational since 1880.

As of yesterday the D. van de Wetering yard at the Bunschotenweg in the Eemhaven in Rotterdam ceased operations, and all activities will be transferred in the short distance to Damen Shiprepair Van Brink, in Pernis.
