About us
Within Damen Offshore and Specialized Vessels, we have a department dedicated to our Ferries. The Design & Proposal team for ferries is responsible for designing and preparing cost estimates, ensuring that the design meets the specified customer and classification requirements. Not only are we looking for the right solution in the form of a ferry proposal, but also the right vessel that is future-proof!
The role
To create an appropriate ferry design, it is essential to accurately map the vessel’s operational profile. Part of the operational profile is the ship’s speed, which depends on various (external) factors. One of these factors is the tidal current along the intended route.
To gain a proper understanding of the ship’s operational profile, the tidal current in the area must be analyzed in detail and linked to the ship’s operation. As an intern you will answer the main research question: “How does the ship’s operational profile depend on the tidal current in a specific area?”
By using available current data, a speed prediction tool, and statistical analysis, the speed profile of the vessel to be designed must be determined. At a later stage, the findings of your study will be used to design the ship’s propulsion system as sustainable as possible.

Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers offer growing possibilities in the areas of trade, food, energy and recreation. To ensure global prosperity for next generations and keep the earth habitable with an ever-increasing population, it is essential to utilise and protect these possibilities as efficiently and responsibly as possible.
Damen provides unprecedented maritime solutions for this, through design, shipbuilding, ship repair and related services. We offer versatile platforms that enable our customers to be successful and that raise the standard in terms of safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability. We want to become the most sustainable shipbuilders in the world.
In the previous century, we revolutionized shipbuilding. Thanks to standardisation, we were able to supply our customers with better ships, faster. More than 90 years and 6,500 ships later, the importance of standardisation is only increasing in the light of zero-emissions and digitalisation.
We do not build our ships alone, but together with an extensive network from the international maritime cluster. We firmly believe in the power of sharing. It means that we also use our craftsmanship to build platforms on production facilities that are not ours. In this way, through knowledge transfer, we not only contribute to better, safer and more eco-friendly ships, but also to sustainable local development and prosperity.
We are a family owned business and stand for fellowship, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship and stewardship. Our playing field is the world. Our horizon is the long term. We firmly believe in our team, but also in the strength of the individual. Each colleague is an entrepreneur, focused on ensuring truly satisfied clients and making our contribution to a better world. In every aspect of our business the next generation is our starting point.
