DAMPA marine ceilings were installed in most of the large
cruise ships and ferries built in the mid-1980s. The former
included the Nieuw Amsterdam and Noordam of Holland
America Cruises, the Sovereign of the Seas of Royal Caribbean, the Homeric of Home Lines and the Crown Odyssey
of Royal Cruise Line. The first three of these were built by
Chantiers de l’Atlantique of St Nazaire in France and the latter two built by the Jos. L. Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, which went on to become among DAMPA’s best
long-term customers.
Ferry projects included the Dutch-built Koningin Beatrix,
operating between the Hook of Holland and Harwich, the
German-built Peter Pan and Nils Holgersson, linking Travemünde and Trelleborg, the British and Japanese-built Norsea and Norsun, connecting Hull and Rotterdam, and the
Polish-built Stena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica, linking Gothenburg and Kiel.
Locally, marine ceilings were supplied to the Odense Lindø
shipyard, owned by A. P. Møller, which built tankers and
container ships for Mærsk shipping companies.
