Dutch-made shipsIn the 1980s the industry started to focus on high-tech, specialised ships. Large Dutch shipbuilders such as Damen and Royal IHC have grown into multinational companies, but at the same time, there are still a significant number of smaller dedicated builders active in for example the North of the Netherlands, where the focus is on construction of short sea cargo vessels.

Ship repair & conversion, a vibrant industry in the NetherlandsDamen Shiprepair has become a market leader in Europe. It has now even spread its wings outside Europe, by opening a repair yard on the Caribbean island of Curaçao. In addition, a number of smaller and highly creative repair and conversion yards continue to thrive in the Netherlands. Yards such as Rotterdam Offshore Group and Royal Niestern Sander.

Newbuilding and repair of fishing vessels and inland cargo ships The Dutch-flagged inland cargo fleet numbers some 6,000 vessels, providing a good basis for a large industry. The current low oil price and good fish prices are fuelling a strong recovery of the fishing fleet too, with some highly innovative newbuilds giving a boost to the market.

Dutch superyacht builders on the forefront of the yachtbuilding industry for decadesHave you already seen our fully customised large yachts over 30 metres in length? In recent years, Dutch superyacht builders have gone from strength to strength and are now redefining the Dutch shipbuilding landscape by constructing large dedicated new yards, including the first major drydock to be built in the Netherlands since the 1980s.

Dutch shipbuilding has a long history spanning many centuries

These companies deliver products and services to shipyards, shipowners, the offshore industry, inland shipping, fisheries, yachtbuilding and navies. The most important product groups are electrical and mechanical installations, engineering services, nautical components, construction parts, coatings, interior outfitting and technical maintenance services.

Flexible & reliable The Netherlands has just such a cluster of companies. It is estimated that the Dutch marine equipment industry numbers around 670 companies, which are mainly SME’s but almost all are very actively engaged in export markets. The Dutch marine equipment includes such household names as Huisman Equipment, Alewijnse, Pon Power, Bakker Sliedrecht, RH Marine, Alfa Laval, Hatenboer-Water and Alphatron. All companies known throughout worldwide shipbuilding for their innovative solutions, flexibility and reliability.

Our maritime ancestors were true pioneers. With their ships they discovered new continents and opened up worldwide opportunities.

The Dutch maritime sector grew into one of the most global businesses in the world, with shipbuilding as the technical supplier. Wherever you go in the world, you’ll always meet someone Dutch, as the urge to pioneer, explore and do business still courses through our veins. By anticipating change and valuing innovation, we manage to maintain a crucial role on the international stage.

Things haven’t always been easy. Navigating the turbulent waters of overseas economies and international competition requires all hands on deck. It is particularly in difficult times that our true strength reveal itself. We are inventive, global in our outlook and make sure we reinforce our cooperation. This way, not just the Dutch leader firms got involved, but also many smaller enterprises have entered the international maritime sector’s premier league.

The Netherlands leads the way in building luxurious super yachts. One of our key strengths also lies in the construction and equipment for offshore platforms, dredgers and naval vessels. We create and maintain offshore wind farms. We offer high tech solutions for working at unimaginable depths in some of the planet’s most remote regions.

Netherlands Maritime Technology is a close-knit, successful network of shipyards, suppliers and service providers who work together to achieve the impossible.
