A long history in dredge building
All dredgers, great and small
Damen Dredging once started modestly. It was established in the late 1930s as De Groot Nijkerk, and started working as a dredging contractor in the construction of the IJsselmeer polders. Gradually the focus shifted from contracting jobs to repairs of dredgers, both the company’s own dredgers and those from fellow contractors. The next logical step was new building. Many dredgers have been built since.
A long history in dredging
De Groot Nijkerk was acquired by the Damen Shipyards Group in 1988. It was a perfect match and both companies combined their specific knowledge of the dredging market. For years De Groot Nijkerk continued to market its stationary dredgers and trailing suction pipe systems under its own name. Eventually, in 2004, further integration within the group resulted in operations under the name Damen Dredging Equipment.
