Maximum fuel efficiency & cargo capacity

Multi-purpose cargo vessels

Ideal for bulk, breakbulk & project cargo

Combi freighters

With over 250 multi-purpose cargo vessels delivered all over the world, Damen has developed extensive knowledge in this sector. This experience, combined with client feedback, is integrated into each new generation of vessels. The result is an evolved range of proven, standard solutions from 2,750 – 12,000 dead weight tonnage, offering optimised cargo capacity, low emissions, onboard safety and comfort, and outstanding seakeeping capabilities.

We continue to develop our cargo vessels towards a cleaner, more sustainable maritime future. The vessels we build today are already 40% more fuel efficient than those built 25 years ago. And we’re just getting started. The performance of our vessels is monitored by our IoT solution Damen Triton. This collects and analyses data from thousands of sensors around the vessel, enabling us to continue to optimise. We also offer a wide range of efficiency-enhancing options that can be installed to the vessel either during construction or operation.
