Financing tailored to you
We combine our in-depth understanding of maritime markets with financial expertise gained over many years. Damen Financial Services has over 40 years’ experience in providing tailored financing solutions. Working with companies of all sizes, as well as governmental bodies, we have time and again developed long-standing customer relationships.
During this time, we have also built up a strong network consisting on national and international commercial banks and export credit agencies – such as Atradius, the Triple A rated Dutch export credit agency.
With this experience and network we connect you to the financial arrangement that best suits your needs. We offer a comprehensive range of solutions aimed at providing support for the diverse clients with whom we work. There are three main vehicles:
Supplier’s credit
With supplier’s credit, our clients are completely unburdened. We handle every aspect of financing arrangement on your behalf. Financial Services acts as the lender in a credit arrangement facilitated by bills of exchange to the order of Damen.
Buyer’s credit
This is the vehicle of choice for larger, complex projects. With a buyer’s credit arrangement, Financial Services acts as your broker. Drawing on our extensive international network we connect you with a financial institution suited to you. We assist in the application process, arranging relevant insurances and taking care of the documentation, leaving you free to focus on what’s important – your business.
