Damen Maritime Festival

The ninth edition of the Damen Maritime Festival will take place on 2 October, at our location in Gorinchem.

As usual, we will be showcasing a number of our vessels at the event. This includes our Plain Suction Dredger (350), a robust and highly efficient maintenance dredger. A number of our HDPE vessels will also be on display. These innovative and durable workboats are constructed from 100% recyclable materials, providing a boost to maritime circularity with minimal maintenance requirements. You will also have the chance to sail aboard some of our vessels old and new including our Waterbus and historical vessels from the Damen heritage fleet.

Beyond the vessels, we will also be showcasing some of our recent innovations. We will also be showcasing the new Runwell anti-fouling system. A collaboration between Damen, Akzo-Nobel and Philips, Runwell offers an environmentally conscious total fouling prevention solution. The system is being applied to a hull section of a Damen Shoalbuster that will be present at the Festival.

The popular reverse sailing competition – such a hit with visitors last year – is also making a return. Additionally, Damen Naval will be presenting their latest innovation - an autonomous version of our Interceptor 1102.

There will also be ample opportunity to network while enjoying snacks, drinks and live music.
