About us
Damen Offshore & Specialized Vessels.
We design and deliver maritime projects for various markets like Defense & Security, Public transport, Offshore and Dredging.
Our projects are Engineered to Order (ETO). Which means we are involved throughout the project, from the commercial phase and building strategy, until commissioning, delivery and warranty. This makes our work very challenging because the environment is complex and we have a lot of stakeholders.
We work in close cooperation with various internal departments, (sub)contractors, teams on the shipyard and of course the client and her representatives.
We do this with an international team of ‘can-do’ people that are developing new and innovative technologies and ways to support customers and push for a more sustainable maritime industry.

Our mission is to drive world-class performance across our three business lines (Damen Specialised Vessels, Damen Technical Cooperation and Damen Offshore Constructions) and division entities (including our engineering companies and yards).
BPO is positioned as an independent office in the OSV organization, with the aim to structurally enhance performance of the OSV division in project execution, the end-to-end business processes and in strategic decision making.
