At Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC) we all share a common ethos. From welders to project managers, to sales professionals and estimators, we all feel a strong sense of passion for craftsmanship and we admire a can-do attitude.
To make sure we remain innovative, we never shy away from challenging projects. We always say yes, learn, and get the job done. It is this shared perspective that unites our diverse teams, and you will find it wherever you come into contact with us.
Our people make DSC what it is today. Each of DSC’s ten repair and conversion yards comes with its own unique history and people. How do we deliver 1,500 projects a year? By safeguarding quality in everything we do, through nurturing the experience we have and by fostering a zeal for life-long learning in all of our people.

Because we understand your problems and know how to solve them. But, there’s more:
Damen Shiprepair & Conversion is part of the global Damen Shipyards Group. The Damen Shipyards Group delivers up to 175 vessels each year and has built more than 6500 vessels since 1969. Damen guarantees quick delivery times, maintaining an average stock of 200 hulls, some of which are already equipped with basic outfitting.
Brothers Jan and Rien Damen established the company in 1927. What started as building boats in a shed next to the family home, turned into Damen Shipyards Group. Today, an international company of over 12000 people, we have earned a leading position in the shipbuilding world. At heart, we are still a family company with family values and a deep respect for our maritime heritage.
In 1984, Damen started to repair vessels from the Maaskant Stellendam yard in the Netherlands. In 2013 Damen Shiprepair & Conversion became its own division within the Damen Shipyards Group. Already present in sixteen locations, we are continually expanding and can also serve you worldwide through our harbour & voyage team.
