he Damen Group has a long history of maintaining cruise ships and recognises that the new generation of large cruise ships require yards that not only have the capability to service their complex needs, but which can combine the drydocks big enough to receive them with convenient locations near their home ports and cruising grounds. At Damen we tick all those boxes, and recent yard acquisitions plus the redeployment of resources have strengthened our position as a leading force in cruise ship refit, repair and maintenance in Europe and the Caribbean. The facilities at our yards include more than 40 floating and graving docks, not least Europe’s largest at Brest, France measuring 420 x 80 metres and in Rotterdam, that is 405 by 90 metres, have already hosted cruise ships up to 362-metre, 225,000 GT cruise ship for extensive works programmes.
Damen is in an excellent position to meet the needs of 21st century cruise ships with both the necessary facilities and a proven commitment to quality and efficiency that resonates with the sector. Our network of repair yards gives us a flexibility and ability to respond rapidly that few others can match.
