WERFT receives prestigious refit order from Jifmar for work vessel Zwaardvis

Shipyard WERFT is proud to announce that it has received the order from the Jifmar Group, located in Den Helder, for the extensive conversion and refit of the work vessel Zwaardvis.

The refit includes a complete re-engineering of the vessel. The current DAF engines will be replaced by modern Volvo D8 engines that meet the strictest Tier III emission standards, making the vessel future-proof in terms of sustainability and environmental requirements.

In addition to this technical upgrade, the tank layout and capacity will also be optimized. New accommodation will be created in the foreship, while the existing living areas will undergo a thorough renovation to significantly increase the level of comfort.

The work will be carried out in close cooperation with trusted partners:

VCU-TCD, in cooperation with HR Piping, will provide the complete engine room and ironwork;

De Flux is responsible for the carpentry;

Piet Brouwer is responsible for the electrical installation;

Itech is responsible for the plumbing;

Snijder Schilderwerken is responsible for the painting.

WERFT is acting as the main contractor in this multidisciplinary project. The delivery of the renovated ship Zwaardvis is scheduled for the end of June 2025.

With this order, WERFT once again confirms its position as a reliable partner for innovative and high-quality refit projects within the maritime sector.
