From a modest start with a single shipyard, established in 1927, Damen has since grown to over 32 shipyards and related companies involved in new construction as well as maintenance and repair activities.In 1969 the concept of construction of tugs, workboats and other commercial craft to standard designs, based on modular building principles, was introduced. This modular construction approach offers our clients important advantages: competitive prices, short delivery times and proven technology and performance.Today, our new building activities include a wide range of products, such as tugs, workboats, patrol craft, cargo vessels, dredgers and even mega yachts and fast ferries.Product design and engineering are carried out in-house and a broad range of standard designs is available.

Service support is provided by a dedicated service team based at world wide support hubs.Our extensive international Sales and Marketing organization en
