After Kommer Damen takes the helm, he introduces the first standardised vessel: The Pushy Cat. It's a great success and the model sells rapidly, especially abroad. With that growth comes the need for a bigger yard and a larger workforce.
While the world economy is suffering from the oil crisis in the 1970s, the ‘new’ Damen starts operating in more and more countries. Kommer sees new opportunities in every new step the company takes, and new types of ships are developed at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, Damen continues to expand its services - from the Middle East to Africa.
Meanwhile, back at home, Damen has been out of the picture as a domestic shipbuilder. But that changes when the Dutch shipbuilding industry takes a turn for the worse, and Damen becomes an example of progressiveness.
This episode covers the period between 1975 and 1985. Want to know more about this podcast? Check out podcast.damen.com
‘On Course’ is a Damen Shipyards podcast and is produced by audio agency Airborne.
