About Damen Services Central America

Panama is an important location for the maritime industry, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Panama Canal. More than 15,000 ships pass through the canal each year, creating a high demand for shipbuilding, repair and maintenance services. As a result, Damen has established several newbuilding and service facilities in the region, creating a large local network of Damen companies.

Damen Services Central America also contributes to the social and economic development of Central America by creating employment opportunities, training local talent and supporting local suppliers. In this way Damen demonstrates its commitment to Latin America and its vision of becoming the preferred partner for the maritime industry in Central America and the Caribbean.

Damen Services Central America has signed an agreement with the International Maritime University of Panama, enabling students to gain practical experience with the company. This initiative facilitates local knowledge transfer and helps aspiring professionals launch their careers in an international setting like Damen. By doing so, we not only prepare them for the future but also contribute to the country's development and ensure our sustainable presence.
