Dutch construction and salvage firm Mammoet Europe has expressed its intention to sell the largest part of its maritime fleet to fellow Dutch company Hebo Maritiemservice.
This decision was made after review of Mammoet's company portfolio: "As Mammoet increases its focus on offshore activities, Mammoet Maritime's inland activities insufficiently support the company's strategy," the company commented.
"Careful consideration of the future of Mammoet Maritime and its employees led to the intended sale of a major part of the vessels, floating cranes, barges and tugs to Hebo Maritiemservice. This scenario of sale offers the best possible solution in order to preserve employment, whereby the number of redundancies will be minimised."
Hebo Maritiemservice will acquire Mammoet's maritime equipment located in Lelystad in the Netherlands and Mülheim in Germany. Meanwhile, the real estate at Wiltonhaven, Schiedam, will remain property of Mammoet Europe.
