At Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam we handle vessels of up to 250 metres in length. Besides general repair and maintenance activities, we are always looking for those special projects in which our skilled employees can prove themselves to be the outstanding and professionals that they are. To get a good perspective of the kind of jobs that we undertake, please check the projects section where you can find an overview of some of our recent assignments. ‘Going the extra yard’ sums up our attitude to all the contracts that we undertake, and its success is reflected in the confidence that our clients have in our capabilities. This is demonstrated by the number that return to us with new orders and projects. This attitude is further reinforced by other factors including a belief in personal service and a closely monitored time and cost-efficient approach which, over the years, have together become a part of our DNA. We do admit however that the true foundations of this philosophy lie in the dedication of our staff and workforce, because it is they who ultimately deliver the exceptional service and quality that makes Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam the organisation that it is. Our yard in Amsterdam offers a full service on site. We adhere to the highest health, safety and environmental standards and are a flexible and flat organisation. The focus of the yard is four dry docks, the largest of which is Panamax-capable with a maximum capacity of 85,000 tonnes dwt and 250 metres in length. All docks are equipped with ample cranage ranging from 90, 60 and 40 tonnes down to a minimum of 15 tonnes. More lifting capacity is available on a project by project basis through partnerships with contractors. We are the most competitive yard in NW Europe for steelwork and we are extremely flexible, often being able to take on projects with little or no notice. Our invoicing processes are transparent, in line with the quotations given, and quotes for additional work are supplied quickly. We ensure that communications between the customer and yard are always clear and open.more

Damen Shipyards Den Helder started out as a small ship repair business in 1923 and seventy years later joined the Damen Shipyards Group. Now the yard is focused on repair and maintenance for the offshore, dredging, fishing and towage sectors, although we do also welcome the occasional new build project. The shipyard has two locations: one yard is located in Den Helder and the other in Oudeschild, a small port on the island of Texel. Damen’s unique shipbuilding concept is based on delivering what our customers want: the best quality, proven designs, short delivery times, low maintenance and excellent resale value. The result is a work method with the perfect balance between standardisation and custom-built vessels. And of course we offer a broad range of customer services. Since the second quarter of 2011 Damen Shipyards Den Helder has used the excavated dock (Dock ll at the Oude Rijkswerf Willemsoord) as well as its own two docks. The yard rents these facilities at Willemsoord BV district Den Helder. Besides the three docks, three slipways and a tower crane, we have several work areas, factories, warehouses, storage buildings and turneries at our disposal at our location in Den Helder. All these areas are equipped with the necessary tools, resources and overhead cranes to execute the most difficult repairs. As well as our production facilities we have our own engineering and design bureau in-house that delivers work for third parties. Damen Shipyards Texel, part of Damen Shipyards Den Helder, is located in Oudeschild on the island of Texel. At Oudeschild, ships, 100-metres long and 13-metres wide with a maximum draught of 5.5 metres, can docked directly from the open sea. Oudeschild offers both a dry dock in the port as well as workshop facilities situated in the industrial park which are well within walking distance of the port and drydock. Our team consisting of 13 employees is tightknit and hands on; when working on large projects Damen Shipyards Den Helder often assists us. The industrial branches offshore oil & gas, and the coastal and inland fisheries, are Damen Shipyards Texel’s major focus. In the drydock with a capacity of 1500 tonnes, we clean and paint the ships, but grit- and waterblasting is also possible. The workforce in this location is “multiskill” and able to take care of all kind of repairs. We execute all welding and construction activities on-site. In addition to a turnery with multiple lathes and milling machines, our workshop are equipped with tools and machines from 100-tonne shears and metal bending machines to welding facilities and cranes. We also have a large warehouse with a sales counter. Every maritime company on the island of Texel can order their parts and tools at our yard. Many of our customers use our services regularly for understandable reasons. Our dedicated Damen Shipyards Texel team is customer oriented, an approach our customers value. Quality service is a priority, and our competitive rates are attractive.more
