The prominent Dutch luxury yacht builder, Mulder Shipyard, is pleased to announce that its new facilities in Zoeterwoude Rijndijk are almost completed. It is expected that the new yard will be fully operational on 1 February 2013.

New Mulder yard

The large overhead doors were installed a few weeks ago and the first dry dock is now in use. The outer façades and rest of the exterior of the new yard are completely finished and work is in process on the interior. This includes the installation of machinery and cranes, the finishing of the canteen and sanitary facilities, and the furnishing of the office.

Moreover, the 100-tonne crane, which will later be used for launching yachts, was recently taken into use. The moving of the machinery from the old to the new site has also started.

Works on yachts at Mulder Shipyard

While the yard construction is still in its final phase, the first hulls have already arrived at the new facility. The hull of the Mulder 98 Flybridge yacht was taken into the dry dock at the end of last year, and the hull of the new Mulder 75 Wheelhouse yacht arrived last week.

Both yachts will have an aluminium hull and superstructure, and will be the first to be completed at the new facilities. The hull of the special edition Mulder 94 Voyager yacht will also arrive at the new site later this year.
