The quality of a commercial vessel is measured by its performance and reliability in the business process of its owner. To assure a maximum added value of the ship, and a satisfied client, we start by analyzing the process of its use. A vessel from shipyard 'De Hoop' is always a tailor-made solution.

Our projects are typically characterized by use of up-to-date technologies in combination by innovative designs. Before entering a new project, we have to convince ourselves that we can make a design that is overall 10-15% more effective (i.e. better, faster, cheaper, more capacity, more reliable, etc.) than the offers of our competitors.

A good design only becomes a good ship through clear and down-to-earth project-management. We strongly believe that one has to have up-to-date shipbuilding-knowledge and skills at hand to assure total project quality. In our view, this means that we have all the necessary facilities and disciplines in the house to be an effective shipyard.

Our shipyard combines the experience of more than 1000 ships, we currently employ more than 130 skilled and experienced shipbuilders, which creates a sound basis for the projects we aim at: high added value and short delivery times.

We sincerely hope this website gives you a clear and entertaining insight in our activities and, of course, if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us. Our people will be happy to help you.

Yours sincerely

The Board of Directors,
