Why This Startup Closes Every Third FridayLast week, the floating platforms were towed upriver from Gorinchem, where they were built at Damen Shipyards, to IJzendoorn through the Waal (Rhine), the widest river of the Netherlands. I m incredibly proud, says CTO Don Hoogendoorn For months, we perfected the technological design, after which we built the Demonstrator within 7 months. From a technological point of view - our team has over 80 years of shared experience in maritime technology - we knew the platforms were built robustly, but a 50 km high speed towing route is the ultimate real-life test. During such a path, the forces are far beyond those you would experience at sea. And our platforms passed the test with flying colors.
