Advanced composite structures represent a distinctive Dutch capability with strong international potential in naval shipbuilding. During the economic mission to the United Kingdom earlier this week, November 2 - 4, attended by King Willem-Alexander, Dutch and British companies and knowledge institutions came together to strengthen collaboration in these sectors.
The Netherlands has world-class expertise and production capabilities in advanced composite structures. The Dutch composites ecosystem therefore plays an important role in strengthening the projects of international shipyards and system integrators.
The ASWF programme, contracted by Damen Shipyards, is a strong example: currently Europe’s largest composite superstructure project for naval combatants, with production underway at Rondal for the new Dutch-Belgian frigates.
During the Dutch economic mission to the United Kingdom, Rondal presented this expertise to His Majesty the King and representatives of the Dutch and UK governments and maritime industries.
A strong demonstration of Dutch expertise and of the opportunities for further UK-Netherlands cooperation in naval shipbuilding.
