Not an agent. Not a shipyard.
The missing layer.

Azauw is a response builder — we receive your scope of work or RFQ and return a fully coordinated plan and cost estimate within your port window.

Local suppliers, port agents, and technical contractors are subcontracted and managed under our scope. You deal with one interface and receive one coordinated response.

Operating through Meywest B.V. (Netherlands), with deep roots in offshore, subsea, and cable operations.

The Atlantic gap that vessel operators
have been missing.

Mid-Atlantic. Operationally strategic. Approximately 782 nautical miles from Lisbon and 2,078 nautical miles from Boston, the Azores sit in a practical position between Europe and North America, within a maritime zone of more than 930,000 km².
