Where Atlantic traffic
meets coordinated support.

Azauw is a response builder for vessel calls in the Azores. Send us your scope or RFQ and we return one coordinated plan and cost estimate built around your port window — local suppliers first, European network where needed.

We focus on the technical and operational side — repairs, lifting, testing, safety equipment, parts, and specialist support. The scope a shipyard would manage, coordinated through one accountable interface with the flexibility to build the right response for each call.

Operating through Meywest B.V. (Netherlands), built on 15+ years of operator-side experience across vessel technical management, drydockings, and offshore support — and on the conviction that the Azores is ready for this.

Scope in, plan out

Send any request — full scope or single requirement. We assess it, build the response, and confirm what can be delivered within your call window.

We coordinate. You operate.

All local providers managed under one Azauw scope. One RFQ in. One coordinated response out.

Backed by maritime experience

Extensive operator-side experience across shipyard projects, dockings, technical and maintenance management, and vessel support.

Netherlands-based. Azores-focused.

The Azores has the location, the traffic, and the momentum. Azauw is the coordination layer that connects international vessel demand to local Azorean capability.

Positioned between Europe
and North America.

Mid-Atlantic and operationally strategic, the Azores sit about 783 nautical miles from mainland Portugal and about 2,106 nautical miles from the east coast of North America, within a maritime zone of roughly 1 million km². That makes the region a practical Atlantic support point for vessel calls, transit planning, and offshore activity.

From first contact
to completed delivery.

Send Azauw your requirement. We scope, coordinate, and manage delivery — one contact from first message to vessel departure.

STEP 01

RFQ received

By email or via azauw.com. Not sure what to ask for yet? Browse our vendor directory to see what's available in the Azores before you build your scope. We respond within the hour during operational hours — and 24/7 for emergencies.

STEP 02

Response built

We confirm what is executable within your port window, structure the full scope, and produce a coordinated plan and cost estimate. Qualified local Azorean providers first — wider European network only where local capability is not enough.

STEP 03

Delivered & closed

One coordinated response. Azauw manages execution, reporting, and follow-through until the job is done — and the vessel departs on schedule.
