Damen Shipyards Cape Town South Africa

Damen Shipyards Cape Town has its roots in the Foarocean Marine Shipyard, established in 1988 by three partners originally from the deep-sea fishing, shipbuilding and repair industries. Starting out as a closed corporation, it was converted into a private company in 1994. At the end of 2007, the shipyard’s facilities and personnel were acquired by the Damen Shipyards Group. Damen Shipyards Cape Town (Pty) Ltd. was established with a 30% shareholding held by Montsi Investments. The output of the yard is now up to ten vessels a year.

At our yard we have two docks at our disposal: a Sturrock dock of 360 metres and a Robinson dry dock of 161.2 metres. For outfitting, repair or maintenance projects we have Syncrolift repair lanes and lay-up berths. We also have several workshops for various specialisations. One of the biggest advantages of being part of the Damen Shipyards Group is the extensive level of knowledge and experience on which we can draw if needed.
