History
DAMPA’s Marine activities were founded early 1970’s following a fire protection development project within the IMO framework.
In 1972 the DAMPA Continuous Ceiling System was launched - the first marine ceiling according to a new continuous class principle of fire protection to be incorporated in the International Safety of Life at Sea regulation, SOLAS-74.
DAMPA hereafter quickly became widely acknowledged as the international trendsetter gaining approvals and certifications from leading National Authorities and Classification Societies worldwide.
