Damen has reached an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Folla Maritime to strengthen its position in the growing aquaculture market.

The rising global demand for seafood, driven by population growth, is a key reason for Damen’s expansion into aquaculture. Recognizing the need for sustainable vessels and smart maritime solutions, Damen aims to support fish farm owners and service providers by combining shipbuilding expertise with industry know-how.

Damen also operates the Damen Maaskant yard in Stellendam, the Netherlands, acquired in 1984. The yard serves as the central hub for Damen’s fishing and aquaculture activities.
