About us

Damen Services' vision is to be the strategic partner for our customers for sustainable support during the life cycle of its ships. We achieve this by exceeding our customers' expectations by delivering innovative solutions and proven concepts. We work together in a safe manner, with competent and committed colleagues and partners, always and everywhere in the world.

We support Damen's central sales organization in the sale of ships by creating added value in the form of services. By providing excellent service, we increase the chance that a customer will choose Damen again when replacing or expanding their fleet.

The department offers a broad portfolio of services for the entire life cycle of a ship built by Damen. This includes handling warranty calls, providing training, supplying spare parts, providing maintenance and carrying out modifications and repairs. This is reflected in the behavior of its employees; they are always available, proactive, keep their agreements and always go the extra mile.

Within the Services department the question is always: How do we make it happen?
