As previously stated, the NIBC financing will be used to allow Damen Shipyards Group customers to obtain financial or operational lease solutions.
This, according to the shipbuilder, pertains to workboats for offshore (wind) resources and (hybrid) tugs for port operations, among other things.
“We are very pleased with the collaboration and this new long-term commitment from NIBC,” stated Jan Willem van Helden, managing director of Damen Financial Services.
Damen Financial Services operates one of the funds of the Damen Ship Lease Cooperative, which sells the leases. The Dutch company announced plans earlier this month to launch a new ship finance division on April 1st.
