Concordia Damen expands: new property and quay to support growing cruise activities
We’re happy to announce the purchase of a new property and quay at Biesboschhaven Noord 10 in Werkendam, located just across from our current office.
Why this expansion?
Our growing river cruise activities required more space for outfitting. While we already have a quay along the Merwede River, it wasn’t sufficient for larger vessels like our River Cruisers. This limitation often led us to rent quay space from our neighbors.
With this new property and its 135-meter mooring capacity, we can now berth three ships side by side. This increased flexibility allows us to streamline our operations, improve efficiency, and prepare for the growing demand for river cruise outfitting.
What’s next?
Our new colleague, Paul, will be the first to get hands-on with the property as we prepare it for future use. Currently, the building serves as a storage space, but by 2025, when a new Cruiser arrives for outfitting, the entire Cruise Team will move into the new location. The expanded space will be key to supporting our plans for even more efficient and flexible outfitting.
We’re excited about what this means for the future of Concordia Damen and look forward to the opportunities this new location will bring!
