Damen Marine Components - Damen Marine Components

Welcome aboard!

Damen Marine Components (DMC) specialises in the design and production of rudders and steering gear, and nozzles. In 2018, nozzle manufacturer DMC was merged with fellow Damen company Van der Velden, a leader in rudder and steering gear products, to create the new, enhanced DMC. The proud Van der Velden name lives on however as the official trademark for DMC’s rudder and steering gear products.

Today’s DMC is the market leader in manoeuvring equipment for vessels of all types and sizes, based on its 150 years of experience and extensive industry networks that include vessel owners, shipyards, research institutes and naval architects.

Over the years, our brands have supplied more than 10,000 nozzles ranging in size from 500 to 10,000 mm, and rudders and steering gear for thousands of vessels. Our wholly-owned production facilities in the Netherlands, Poland and China manufacture almost all our products, thereby ensuring consistent quality and short communication lines.

Customers of DMC are offered a complete service, from design and manufacturing to upgrades and servicing, all to the highest standards. We work with our clients to guarantee that each vessel has exactly the right equipment to match its size and purpose. Our relentless drive for innovation ensures that DMC manoeuvring systems continually develop and adapt to increase their effectiveness and efficiency, and reflect the very latest in engineering and materials technology.

Wherever you are in the world, our global sales and 24/7 service network is there to assist you.
