Damen believes the offshore wind energy sector, especially the emerging floating wind farm sector, shows a lot of promise and also acknowledges the potential of the offshore energy segments and of the aquaculture.

“Damen Mangalia Shipyard (DSMa) in Romania, the largest of the group, will have an important role in this new development of the business,” Damen officials say.

Damen is working on two High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission projects at DSMa, both built under contracts with Aker Solutions.

Work started last year and the first project will be delivered in the first half of 2023, and the other in the first quarter of 2024.
