At that time the Royal Schelde shipyard, based in Vlissingen in the Netherlands, was known all over the world for its high quality shipbuilding, both in the naval and civil maritime sector.For more than 50 years Damen Naval has in fact been the dedicated shipbuilder for the Royal Netherlands Navy and we have worked alongside the Royal Netherlands Navy on the design, engineering and construction of eight generations of combat vessels, as well as amphibious vessels and naval auxiliaries. Based on decades of accumulated experience Damen Naval now offers navies worldwide a broad range of defence and security vessels, ranging from 7m to more than 200m in length.
