SMST Designers & Constructors

Busy times at our fitting and welding department as the production of multiple Telescopic Access Bridges (TABs) is in full swing!  At SMST, we design and produce our equipment in-house. From concept to end product, everything is done at our own premises. The main advantage: direct communication, highest quality and detailed knowledge of the entire process, ensuring the best service.    #SMST #Fitting #Welding #Production #Gangway #TelescopicAccessBridge 

It’s time for the summer holidays! While enjoying a cup of coffee and exchanging plans for the summer, our employees are rounding up the last things before the holidays start! In turns, everyone will enjoy some time off to unwind, soak up the sun, and come back even more inspired and energized. SMST wishes everyone a fantastic summer! #SMST #SMSTTeam #SummerVacation #Summer #OffshoreEquipment 

Today, we have one of our LinkedIn administrators in the spotlight! While she is normally active behind the scenes, today is a moment to shine as we are celebrating her 12.5 years anniversary as part of our PR & Marketing department! Marja Westerhof keeps a lot of gears turning in regard to internal and external communication. Marja, we’d like to thank you for years of putting SMST on the map in a wide range of creative ways and we hope to have you here for many more years to come! #SMST #WorkAnniversary #12.5Years #Milestone #Jubilee #Career #Dedication #Team

The North Star owned walk-to-work ship is scheduled to be in service by the end of 2025 for EnBW in offshore Germany.   We are looking forward to working together with Cochin Shipyard and we are grateful for the trust North Star has placed in us for supplying equipment to a third vessel!

SMST’s solar park is in operation! Whilst our main contribution to a cleaner world can be found offshore, we are also making sustainable choices at our homebase in Drachten. The installation of our first batch of solar panels has been completed, which together with a second batch of panels will provide 50% of SMST’s total energy usage. The shift to our own produced renewable energy for the production of our equipment results in even greener operations in the offshore wind! #SMST #Sustainability #Green #GreenEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SolarPanels
