Minimum emissions, maximum impact
Damen has been on a journey for nearly a century – from shipbuilder to full maritime solutions provider. With our strategy focused on minimum emissions and maximum impact, we are accelerating our journey towards becoming the world’s most sustainable and connected maritime solutions provider. At Damen, we are shaping a more sustainable maritime future – together with our customers, partners and our own people.
Reducing the environmental footprint
The biggest difference we can make in shipping is through reducing emissions in the vessels we design, build, maintain, repair and repurpose. Our yards play a central role in reducing negative impacts on people and planet.
Digitalisation is a strong driver for sustainability and enables new business models such as emissions reporting, optimisation, simulations and ‘as a service’ maritime solutions.
Minimum emissions
New vessels
We design and build next-generation vessels that reduce emissions through energy-efficient design, alternative fuels and circular materials. Digital solutions help customers monitor and optimise performance from day one.
Existing vessels
We support customers in making their current fleets more sustainable through retrofits, alternative propulsion and energy-saving technologies. From air lubrication systems to digital optimisation tools, we extend lifecycles while lowering emissions.
Yards
We continuously reduce emissions at our shipyards by improving energy efficiency, increasing circularity and investing in digitalisation. At the same time, we ensure safe and responsible operations for our people and surrounding communities.
