Deme Group Announces EUR450m Capital Expenditure Plan for 2026
As of February 26, 2026, DEME Group has outlined a projected capital expenditure (capex) of approximately EUR450 million for 2026, signaling a strategic focus on fleet modernization and expansion of its offshore energy services. The announcement aligns with the company's broader goals to strengthen its position in the global dredging and marine engineering sectors.

The capex target reflects DEME's commitment to investing in sustainable infrastructure and advanced technology, as highlighted in its Half-Year Results for 2025, which reported record profitability driven by strong demand for offshore wind farm installation and environmental infrastructure projects. The company has emphasized that the 2026 investments will prioritize enhancing operational efficiency and meeting long-term client contracts in energy transition initiatives.

DEME's capital allocation strategy is consistent with its mission, "The World is Our Project," which underscores its global approach to infrastructure development and environmental stewardship. The EUR450m plan includes funding for new vessel acquisitions, digitalization of project management systems, and research into eco-friendly dredging technologies.

Analysts note that the capex increase follows a period of robust financial performance, with DEME's 2025 half-year report indicating improved margins and a reinforced balance sheet. The company has not disclosed specific project timelines but stated that the investments will be phased to align with regulatory approvals and market conditions.

DEME Group's board reiterated its focus on balancing growth with fiscal responsibility, ensuring that the 2026 capex remains supported by cash flow from existing operations. The plan underscores confidence in the resilience of the marine infrastructure sector amid evolving global energy demands.
