In the first two quarters of 2020, the pandemic had reduced maritime trade and transport, which, in turn, has lowered the demand for the procurement of new vessels; however, the market is witnessing a recovery in the past 12 months with new shipbuilding contracts being rewarded globally.

“With the current market indicators, we are confident this strategic joint venture will play a key role in Al Seer Marine's growth which will be a great added value to our shareholders," Neivens added.

Founded in 1927, Damen Shipyards has been providing maritime solutions in design, shipbuilding, ship repair, and related services across a range of sectors.

The Damen Group is a Dutch shipbuilding and engineering conglomerate company based in Gorinchem, South Holland, the Netherlands. Though it is a major international group doing business in 120 countries, it remains a private family-owned company.
