Feadship starts construction on new 140m drydock in Makkum
Feadship has started construction on a new production shed at its facility in Makkum, the Netherlands where soon it will be able to facilitate even larger yachts in the new 166-metre-long building that will house a 140-metre-long drydock. In addition to the shed itself, Feadship will further expand the facility with new office spaces and workshops.

The current Hall A, at 182 metres with its 120-metre long drydock, will become the smaller of the two build sheds at Makkum as Hall B’s drydock is not only 20 metres longer, but also 2.5 metres deeper and a metre wider.
“This development involves a considerable investment,” says director Henk de Vries. “While the good Feadship order book is one reason for increasing capacity, as a family business we find it crucial to secure the future for generations to come. The community of Makkum has very close ties with this yard."

The first phase of construction will be completed by November 2019.
