Royal IHC has just announced acquisition of Maritime Design & Engineering Services (MD&ES), based in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, The Netherlands.

The company provides engineering services to a wide range of clients in the maritime sector, including IHC. Its services vary from feasibility studies and concept designs to detailed engineering.
