ILS Project Management in Damen Services is distinctive for managing a complete scope of Services products during and after newbuild of a vessel. Clients who bought an ILS package are clients which require certainty and predictability in their operation and maintenance of their Damen vessel. The ILS specific part is reflected in analysis of the engineering package in reflection of the total life cycle of the vessel, mostly resulting in data-supported parts list and a detailed maintenance management. Within Damen Services there are several Service Lines who are responsible for the execution of parts of the project, in which the ILS Project Manager is managing the coordination, overview and stakeholder relations. He/she will do that by being organization and people sensitive, making the required reports and overviews at the right time and communicating that to stakeholders internal (newbuild team, sales team, internal Damen Services team) and external as being our representation to the client.
