Damen acquires UK-based I.M.E Group

Thursday, November 13 2025

General – Acquisition

Damen has announced the acquisition of Southampton-based I.M.E Group.

From left to right: Tina Langford (Co-director I.M.E), Paul Langford (Managing Director I.M.E), Arnout Damen (CEO Damen Shipyards Group), Edwin van der Poel (Director Damen Services UK).

The acquisition follows close collaboration between the two parties since the opening of Damen Services’ UK Service Hub in 2021.

This investment in the UK industry supports Damen’s strategic goal of providing full lifecycle support, expanding the range of services available to clients throughout the UK in their day-to-day operations.

With this step, Damen’s UK customers are assured of access to prompt on-site support, mechanical and electrical engineering, docking services, parts supply, and maintenance for both Damen and non-Damen vessels.

Founded in 2006, I.M.E specialises in the provision of 24/7 repair and maintenance support to clients in the maritime and energy sectors. Its services cover everything from day-to-day breakdowns to turnkey projects.
