The Coronavirus has developed into a global pandemic. Read about the response of Damen Shipyards Group in the message from Arnout Damen, CEO of Damen Shipyards Group, here.

A versatile solution

The Damen Modular Barge (DMB) is a container-sized floating unit that forms a versatile building block for all sorts of modular pontoons and vessels. The barge can have many configurations, and can be fitted with a huge range of equipment. Multiple DMBs are coupled together by the unique class-approved Damen Link (two hooks, a connection rod, a washer, nut and securing plate) to form a professional marine vessel with standard Damen quality.

Applications worldwide

The DMBs can be stacked as standard containers and transported by truck, boat, plane and train. They operate in coastal waters, inland waterways and lakes anywhere in the world – including landlocked waterways. A wide range of uses includes lifting, dredging and piling. They can be fitted as accommodation blocks and wheelhouses and are even in operation as ferries, and as pontoons for generating electricity from the tides.

There are a series of 20- and 40-foot container size modules, and many options.
