Strengthen our maritime manufacturing industry – vote for OMDS/2BA!

Thanks to close collaboration between Royal IHC, Royal Boskalis Westminster, Damen Shipyards Group, Royal Van Oord, ETIM International, Ketenstandaard Bouw en Techniek, 2BA and trade association NMT (Netherlands Maritime Technology), an increasing number of suppliers and material processors from the maritime manufacturing industry are finding their way to 2BA, where they can publish and obtain up-to-date product and pricing information.

2BA datapool: also ’maritime compliant’

Read on to find out how the joint OMDS (One Maritime Data Standard) initiative has not gone unnoticed within the maritime sector. That shouldn’t come as a surprise: after all, OMDS’s mission is to reduce failure and supply chain management costs and increase efficiency within the maritime manufacturing sector. This is an absolute necessity, especially in the light of international competition with subsidized shipbuilding in low-wage countries such as China and South Korea. For this purpose, the 2BA database has been made fully ‘maritime compliant’.
