DMC Delivers Components for MPVs

[ October 10, 2025   //   ]

Damen Marine Components (DMC) has contracted to supply rudders, steering gear and nozzles to two major newbuilding projects covering 14 multipurpose vessels at Udupi Cochin Shipyard and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders in India.

In its first-ever collaboration with Udupi Cochin Shipyard, project involves eight 6,300 DWT MPVs being built by Udupi Cochin Shipyard (UCSL) for a Scandinavian customer. DMC delivered Piston-type steering gear and Atlantic-type rudders for these ships, tailored to its specific vessel design. All equipment is being built and delivered from DMC’s factory in China.

“We have been active in India for 20 years and growing our footprint with this project for Udupi Cochin Shipyard makes us very proud,” said Bogdan Mocanu, DMC sales manager.

The second project comprises six 7,500 dwt MPVs for Danish shipowner Navi Merchants, built at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. in Mumbai. The DMC scope includes rudder systems, hydraulic steering gear and propeller nozzles for propulsion efficiency. While the steering gear will come directly from DMC’s head office and production location in the Netherlands, the rudders and nozzles are manufactured at DMC Gdansk in Poland.
