Dr. Wagemaker – for TESO 

C-Job are proud to have collaborated with Texels Eigen Stoomboot Onderneming (TESO) to engineer a significant upgrade for its Dr. Wagemaker ferry. The project scope was to integrate a cutting-edge mooring system and reinforce the vessel’s hull to accommodate the modernization, which would improve both operational efficiency and sustainability. 
About the project

Customized mooring system for performance and sustainability

The Dr. Wagemaker navigates busy waters, and TESO saw the need for a new mooring system that would secure their ferry safely, while also reducing the environmental footprint of the operation.

To implement the system, C-Job engineered substantial hull superstructure fortification work to accommodate the added forces exerted by the mooring equipment. Our team meticulously designed the necessary upgrades, working closely with Damen Shipyards to implement the solution while minimizing downtime for TESO’s operations.

The new system allows for precise docking and reduces fuel consumption by up to 10,000 liters every month – reducing costs and the ferry’s carbon footprint, in line with TESO’s commitment to sustainable operations. The ferry’s enhanced fixing during mooring also increases safety for passengers and crew alike.

Client testimonial

"The upgrades to the Dr. Wagemaker, delivered in collaboration with C-Job, have significantly improved our ferry’s operational efficiency and sustainability. By engineering the hull reinforcement, C-Job supported us with a very important part of the total solution. It not only enhances safety and docking precision, but also aligns with our commitment to reducing environmental impact.”

A-Rosa Sena – for Concordia Damen 

C-Job supported Concordia Damen with the concept, basic and detail design and engineering for the A-Rosa Sena, a river cruise vessel. Designed for A-Rosa Cruises, the German cruise company, the vessel is the largest capacity ship in its fleet, with a record total of 140 cabins for 280 guests. A standout feature of the design is an additional fourth accommodation deck compared to conventional vessels on this cruise route.

Fully electric ferry – for Saronic Ferries

Based on our history and experience in electric ferries, C-Job was engaged to work on a fully electric, zero-emission 85-meter ferry for Saronic Ferries in Greece. This concept design required C-Job to balance optimized onboard energy usage with sufficient battery power to meet the electrical propulsion demands of a longer-haul ferry.

Texelstroom – for TESO

To handle increased traffic between the island of Texel and Den Helder on the Dutch mainland, the ferry company Texels Eigen Stoomboot Onderneming (TESO) commissioned the Texelstroom ferry, choosing C-Job to deliver an innovative and sustainable design. The Texelstroom is the first passenger ferry to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), so C-Job applied our risk-based design approach for this vessel and also worked closely with regulators to ensure compliance.
