City ferries
Keeping cities connected
Since the earliest times, people have built their settlements and cities close to rivers to ensure the flow of trade, food and transportation. Today, our waterways offer us an efficient means to navigate our urban environments, avoiding traffic congestion and providing a relaxing way to work, school, or leisure.
Damen City Ferries are designed to optimise safety, comfort and sustainability on such journeys, applying the latest in technological innovation and years of shipbuilding heritage.
Take charge of tomorrow
Emission-free water transportation
Damen City Ferries offer a glimpse of the future. Battery powered, emissions free and with a spacious, circular interior, the ferries guarantee a comfortable ride in utmost efficiency.
Attractive intermodal city transport
Our urban ferries represent an attractive proposition for urban commuters and sightseers. Passengers can leave their cars at home and take a relaxing, stress-free journey.
Tailor-made to customer requirements
We maintain a flexible approach to the design of our City Ferries. Clients are invited to specify passenger capacity, bicycle and cargo space, entertainment and advertising options, and more.
Fully automated fast-charging system
As a total solutions provider, we offer dedicated boarding platforms, jetties, mooring solutions and charging systems in addition to the vessel. Your City Ferry can repower in a matter of minutes via a fully automated fast charging system incorporated into your jetty.
Listening carefully to our customers
Innovation is frequently the result of collaboration. This is why we work closely together with renowned research institutions, suppliers and, above all, clients, in the development of our solutions.
