Description |
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

Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf is located in the port of Amsterdam. It occupies a highly strategic location at the junction of the two major waterways; the IJ and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. The yard has a floating dock with 6.000 ton deadweight capacity and a slipway of 100 meter at its disposal.
We believe in building close and enduring relationships with all our customers. A harmonious partnership leads to the best results and we aim to deliver exactly what our customers need. That’s why we work so closely with our customers and we always live up to their expectations.
Successful ship repair and renovation projects are the result of harmonious collaboration between shipyard, the ship owners and the subcontractors. No one knows a vessel as well as its owner and operator, so by listening to them and valuing their knowledge we can combine it with our technical skills and so together successfully undertake the most complex projects. Using this approach we always find the optimum solution, whatever the scale or scope of the assignment.
As part of the global Damen Shipyards Group we can draw on an almost unlimited source of expertise, contacts and information. Naturally the Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf shipyard aims to provide the very best service. We do this by:
Employing high quality personnel and providing them with education, training and a wide variety of different work.
Continually investing in innovative technology and machinery and regular upgrades.
Collaborating with a number of permanent subcontractors based at our yard so we can provide the optimum service that is expected by our customers.
During its long existence, Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf has witnessed virtually every aspect of ship repair. The shipyard, which was founded in 1949, lies in the eastern part of the Port of Amsterdam. Recent investments, including a larger dry dock with a lifting capacity of 6,000 tonnes and new repair berths, have further reinforced its foundations for the future, equipping it to deliver first-class repairs, maintenance and modifications.
At Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf we specialise in repairs, refit, maintenance and modifications. With our many years of experience we are reliable partners in every project that we do, because we believe that harmonious collaboration with our customers and partners leads to the best results. Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf includes both commercial shipping companies and the government among its customers. Because we work for various clients, each with its own wishes and requirements, we have gained experience and knowledge in the repair and maintenance of a wide variety of vessels.
We have recently invested in our facilities, adding a larger dry dock, new repair berths, cranes, infrastructure and mooring capacity. We have also dredged an entrance channel. Through this investment we have laid the foundations for a successful future based on the delivery of first-class repairs, maintenance and modifications. Thanks to its comprehensive facilities, Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf is consistently busy, not only for shipping companies but also for other engineering companies, construction and machine workshops. Assignments range from manufacturing simple engineering components such as bushes and pins to creating complex components such as crane parts.more
