Greek Marine Equipment Manufacturers sign Declaration of Intent with Shipyards Group

Damen Shipyards Group from the Netherlands and the Hellenic Marine Equipment Manufacturers and Exports – the leading suppliers and export association in the Greek maritime industry – have signed a Declaration of Intent to enhance cooperation in shipbuilding and development of marine equipment and ship technology.

Long-standing relationships were reaffirmed during the HEMEXPO visit to the Damen headquarters in Gorinchem, by the signing of a Declaration of Intent.

The declaration involves sharing information about new marine equipment and shipbuilding technologies, the organization of networking events to promote cooperation between Damen and Greek suppliers in various projects, and where possible including Greek suppliers in Damen’s supply chain. Special attention of all parties goes to developing ventures to achieve higher levels of environmental protection and innovation.

The reaffirmation of HEMEXPO and Damen Shipyards’ alliance comes at a time when Damen is in competition for the award of the Hellenic Navy’s corvettes program. As part of the corvette program-specific attention goes out to the participation of the Greek defense and shipbuilding industry in the construction of the corvettes.

As Damen has unparalleled experience in working with local industries and workforces through 1000+ shipbuilding projects constructed locally, Damen recognizes its relationship with HEMEXPO as of crucial importance.
