Business Game YoungShip: design and sell frigate in two hours

Some 30 members of YoungShip, the newcomers to the landscape of maritime associations in Antwerp, gathered last night at the headquarters of shipowners’ association KBRV for an intense business game. Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding had devised a tough challenge for the participating teams: based on an extensive set of requirements and a detailed data set, they had to draw up a tender for the design, construction and delivery of a series of frigates for the Dutch and Belgian armed forces. That is also why each team was named after a ship from the Dutch or Belgian navy.
