Eighty percent of operational availability and lifecycle costs are determined during the design and construction of each vessel. We anticipate this by including ILS programmes with our newly built products. With the inclusion of ILS programmes, Damen retains a design to maintain principle. ILS is a structured and interactive approach to logistics. It ensures that all support resources necessary to operate and maintain systems and equipment throughout the vessel’s lifecycle are correctly identified and are consistent with the proposed product design and support environments. In other words, by applying ILS, Damen ensures the requested operational profile is achieved.
