Damen Shiprepair Brest has completed its 50th cruise vessel refit since joining the Damen Shipyards Group in 2012, with recent work performed on the 340-metre Disney Fantasy. The project follows a similar refit carried out on the Disney Dream at the same yard last year.

The Brest facility operates one of Europe’s largest drydocks, measuring 420 x 80 metres, and employs more than 180 personnel experienced in large-scale ship repair and refit operations.

Work on the Disney Fantasy included the installation of energy-efficient propulsion and manoeuvring systems, application of biocide-free silicon hull coatings, and in-house fabrication of 160-ton bulbous bows to reduce water resistance, fuel use, and emissions.

The 50th milestone project highlights the yard’s continued focus on refitting cruise vessels to improve performance and reduce emissions.
