Damen Maaskant
Family-owned shipbuilder
Damen Maaskant is a family-owned, client-focused shipbuilder, specialised in the newbuild, maintenance, repair, refit & conversion of fishing vessels, workboats and expedition yachts. As part of the Damen Shipyards Group, we are expanding our current markets and setting sail into new ones on the international stage.
A rich heritage
Our story begins in 1948. It was then that Piet Maaskant and his sons opened a repair yard to serve the mussel and shrimp fleets working out of Bruinisse on the Dutch North Sea coast. From the start, we held the ambition to develop our services in order to exceed the expectations of our clients. Conscious of our heritage, this a philosophy that guides us still. Today, we remain at the heart of our fishing community, supported by an extensive, professional local supply chain and by our skilled employees, many of whom are the second, or even third generation of their families to work at our yard.
Accessible location from any North Sea fishing ground
The newbuilding and repair yard Damen Maaskant specialises in fishing vessels. It has built a reputation for providing high quality vessels fitted out to deliver the performance needed in a professional working environment. The Stellendam yard is situated in an easy accessible location from any North Sea or English Channel fishing ground. Services and repairs can be performed at the yard, though Damen Maaskant yard professionals will also provide excellent repairs and upgrades at other locations.
Innovating the future
Damen Maaskant is developing a future-proof fishing fleet. The move to zero emissions and zero pollution starts now. To achieve this, the fleet must evolve from conventional to completely emission-free operations, along with the adoption of optimal comfort and working conditions. This will involve a substantial transition over the coming years. Damen Maaskant is a frontrunner in the development and production of innovative vessels that enable fishermen and fish farmers to maximise the returns from their profession.
Our ship repair activities
As a family business, we believe in the development of strong, cohesive relationships. Our facilities ensure our capability to perform the quality construction, maintenance and conversion of our clients’ vessels. This includes our three drydocks with a lifting capacity up to 3,500 tonnes and a 70 metre covered refit facility with two overhead cranes. Additionally, our in-house Service & Repair Team provides round-the-clock support to keep customers underway at all times. We also serve an official Caterpillar service point, from which we offer prompt after-sales services for engineering, overhauls, repair and maintenance jobs for all types of Caterpillar propulsion and generator motors worldwide, 24/7.
