Damen Marine Components (DMC) designs and manufactures marine winches for a wide range of applications, but until now they have been available only on Damen-built or maintained vessels. That changes as DMC is making its winches available to third-party shipyards and equipment suppliers.

Damen Marine Components has been producing winches on a commercial scale since 2010, and Damen Winch Technology was formed in 2015, bringing on board additional engineers and creating a dedicated unit with R&D, design & engineering, production and after-sales support. Today, DMC offers a full range of escort, towing, anchor and tugger winches, and capstans.

With the advent of fuel transition, digitalization, AI and autonomy, innovation in vessel design and operation proceeds at unprecedented speed.
