It has a range of 6,000nm and a below-decks hangar with space for two helicopters. The accommodation holds 25 crew to meet the needs of the vessel and up to 12 guests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content heading-content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest technological solutions<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>Alewijnse\u2019s responsibilities included the full audio-visual systems for both the guest and crew areas, the ship\u2019s IT systems (backbone, source selector, Wi-Fi, LAN sockets etc), CCTV, onboard telephones, TVRO, VSAT, an EntryPod gangway video phone and a Yachteye infotainment system. The overall result is a future proof AV\/IT installation achieved by using the latest technologies available today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-margin-small bg-secondary text-white is-fullscreen\" data-name=\"Quote\">\n    <div class=\"quotes\">\n        <div class=\"swiper-container quotes-swiper\">\n            <div class=\"swiper-navigation\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-button-prev quotes-prev\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-button-next quotes-next\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-pagination quotes-pagination\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"swiper-slide quote\">\n                                                            <div class=\"wrapper\">\n                                    <div class=\"container\">\n                                        <p class=\"text h4\">&#8220;Under the tag line \u2018built for adventure\u2019, the SeaXplorer 77 is designed to sail in both polar and equatorial conditions.&#8221;<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"image-wrapper\">\n                                    <div class=\"image\">\n                                                <picture>\n            <source media=\"(max-width:600px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA-DATCHA-departure-4_1-800x533.jpg\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\n                src=\"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA-DATCHA-departure-4_1.jpg\"\n                width=\"800\"\n                height=\"533\"\n                alt=\"la datcha departure (4)_1\"\n                class=\"\"\n            \/>\n        <\/picture>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The contract between Alewijnse and Damen Yachting was signed in April 2018 and Alewijnse was fully involved from the outset, first at Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania and then at Damen Yachting\u2019s Vlissingen East yard in the Netherlands. At both, Alewijnse acted as a trusted advisor to both the Damen Yachting and client teams from the beginning, applying its in-depth technical knowledge throughout the sales, engineering, production and commissioning stages to ensure optimum outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>This included proposing the Video On Demand and AV control systems used on board based on its experience on previous superyacht projects. Notable challenges included the integration of B&amp;O equipment into the AV system. However, an exhaustive, room-by-room, factory acceptance test of all the equipment involved by Alewijnse ensured that all the issues were identified and resolved before the system left the Alewijnse workshops, paving the way for a smooth commissioning once installed on board the yacht.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content heading-content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working with confidence<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>\u201cIt has been a pleasure to work on such a sophisticated yacht,\u201d said Alewijnse project manager Peter van Campen, \u201cand our previous track record of supplying and installing complete AV\/IT packages to top yards including Damen Yachting, supported by our core competence of marine electrical integration, enabled the yard and client teams to work alongside us with confidence. We hope that this order is the start of a long-term relationship with Damen Yachting regarding their exciting new range of SeaXplorer vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p>Over many years, Alewijnse has developed specialist skills in the design, supply and maintenance of the electronics systems that keep superyachts safe, secure and connected to the wider world. In addition to navigation and communication systems, more recently Alewijnse has established a leading position as a technological leader in AV\/IT, lighting control and security systems for the yachting market using cutting-edge solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-content paragraph-content\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","stories_category":[58],"class_list":["post-2477","stories","type-stories","status-publish","hentry","stories_category-projects-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories\/2477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/stories"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"stories_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alewijnse.twelvetwentystage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories_category?post=2477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
