About
DAMARINE
Meet Daan de Roos, the driving force behind DAMARINE - a marine engineering specialist that makes technology understandable, reliable and practical for you.
Who are we?
After successfully completing a study at the HTS Autotechniek in Arnhem, specialising in combustion engines, several years of experience were gained in emission laboratories of TNO. In particular, experience was gained in the calibration of various emission reduction systems on and after (diesel) engines. on both engine test benches and on chassis dynamometers, with or without climate simulations.
The move into marine engines was made with years of experience at a Volvo Penta dealer, going through all facets of the business, before choosing to start our own company. In this way, we were able to handle complex Volvo Penta issues better, faster and cheaper than the rest of the companies on offer. A simple service turn, diagnosis or repair is also part of the service package.
