Damen Shipyards Den Helder started out as a small business in shiprepair in 1923 and seventy years later we joined the Damen Shipyards Group. Now we are focused on repair and maintenance for the offshore, dredging, fishing and towage market although we do handle the occasional newly built vessel. The shipyard has two locations: one yard is located in Den Helder and the other in Oudeschild, a small port town on the island of Texel.
