Yard SubMenu

Welcome to Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam

Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam (DSR) is situated in the heart of the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest harbour. The yard is also in the middle of the Rotterdam maritime cluster with many manufacturers, representatives and OEMs close by. The yard can accommodate vessels up to 307 metres in length. It enjoys a long history, dating back to 1857. This extensive track record is part of what makes the yard so reliable today. However, it is the people who work here that shape our method. Our team is made up of dedicated and passionate craftsmen who get the job done safely, efficiently and to the highest standards. Also, Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC) is headquartered at this location, as well as Damen Shiprepair Van Brink Rotterdam and our anchor & chain factory.
