Nicutaru added: “Having undertaken many defence and security-related projects in the past, we are well aware of the complexity and stringent regulations facing us and how to meet these requirements.
“We are well-prepared, having invested considerably in the best possible tools and equipment and provided our employees with the relevant training necessary to perform their tasks to the high standards demanded of them.”

Additionally, the company performed electrical installation for the RNLN’s Holland Class off-shore patrol vessels (OPVs) and the Joint Support Ship HNLMS Karel Doorman.
The company recently refitted HNLMS Pelikaan at Damen Shipyards Den Helder.
