At Damen, we are a family-owned shipbuilding company where fellowship, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, and stewardship guide everything we do. Since 1927, we have grown from a small yard on the River Merwede into a global maritime leader, yet our family values remain at our core. We work side by side with skilled colleagues - fitters, welders, foremen, masters of their craft - who always have each other's back. Safety comes first, and we believe that true quality emerges from collaboration and shared expertise.
Our people thrive in an environment where innovation meets tradition. We pioneered standardised shipbuilding in series, combining our heritage with cutting-edge technology to become the world's most sustainable shipbuilder. Across 35 shipyards on five continents, our 12,000 team members embody our commitment to securing tomorrow for the next generation. We are not just building ships; we are responsible stewards of our oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers, creating maritime solutions that connect communities and enable humanity to harness the possibilities of water sustainably.
