Dutch shipbuilder Damen plans to cut around 225 of roughly 4,000 jobs (5.5%) in the Netherlands, according to the unions De Unie and CNV; the company confirmed the restructuring, which it says will make the organisation simpler and more efficient. The cuts are spread over 12 to 18 months and affect all divisions; Damen intends to rely on natural attrition but has not ruled out compulsory redundancies. Damen says the move is unrelated to the lost German navy frigate contract. The unions want talks on a support package (NL Times, 27 Oct 2026). — Source: https://nltimes.nl/2026/10/27/dutch-shipbuilder-damen-slash-55-its-workforce-cutting-225-jobs
