The team fits the task.
Bring in the disciplines needed for each phase. Scale specialist capacity as engineering, construction and outfitting progress.
Shipyard De Hoop
One team. A wider network.
Our own people provide continuity. Specialist partners add the expertise and capacity each project needs.
De Hoop in pictures
People. Facilities.
A common purpose.
The De Hoop core team connects the work around each project. Photographs show the yard today and craftsmanship from the archive.
De Hoop 2.0
Our people at the core.
Partnerships that
expand what is possible.
De Hoop’s own team forms the backbone of our newbuild, refit and repair work. Our people bring project knowledge, practical shipbuilding experience and continuity, supported by our own yard and interior outfitting capabilities.
Established partnerships and a wider network of specialist companies extend that core. We shape both the organisation and the use of the yard around each project. The core team provides continuity; specialist capacity can scale with the work. Halls, workshops, laydown areas and quayside space are coordinated around the construction sequence, vessel and agreed scope.
The yard fits the project.
Adapt the allocation of halls, workshops, storage and waterfront space to the vessel and work programme.
Our own team provides continuity.
De Hoop’s people carry project knowledge through the work, connect the partners and contribute their own practical expertise to construction, refit and repair.
A skilled network
Shipyard De Hoop combines its in-house expertise with a skilled network of specialist partners. We work closely together across electrical systems, interior outfitting, steelwork, piping, machinery and installations. For each project, we tailor the selection of partners to its specific requirements, bringing together the right expertise under De Hoop’s coordination.
Design & engineering
Ship design, technical development and engineering support.
Steel construction
Skilled steelworkers, welders and shipbuilders provide project capacity.
Electrical systems
Electrical installation and onboard systems integration.
Interior outfitting
Specialist marine interiors, furniture and finishing.
Marine coatings
Surface preparation, painting and protective coatings.
Piping & mechanical systems
Piping, machinery installation and mechanical expertise.
Climate systems
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning expertise.
Our design database contains more than 3,000 ship designs. Our own experience and specialist engineering expertise connect that knowledge with the requirements of today’s projects.
Specialist disciplines work alongside De Hoop’s own team. The combination of expertise and agreed scope is tailored to each project.
From concept to completion
All the disciplines.
A coordinated approach.
A project takes more than a drawing or a hull. De Hoop brings the work together, with responsibilities and interfaces defined for each project.
01 Project management & engineering
Translate the brief into a workable project. Coordinate design partners, planning, procurement and technical interfaces, with a clear point of contact throughout the build.
02 Steel construction & hull works
Steel preparation, prefabrication, assembly and hull-related work, using the yard infrastructure and specialist construction partners to suit the agreed scope.
03 Piping, HVAC & systems
Bring machinery, piping and climate systems together with specialist installation partners. Plan access, sequencing and commissioning from the outset.
04 Electrical & integration
Coordinate power, control and onboard electrical installations with specialist partners, aligned with the vessel design and operational requirements.
05 Interior outfitting & coatings
From wet units, floors and partitions to furniture and finishes: De Hoop’s interior team and selected partners create passenger and crew spaces. Coatings are coordinated within the overall construction programme.
06 Repair, conversion & maintenance
Plan structural work, technical upgrades and refurbishment around a vessel’s next phase of service. Connect individual work packages into one coordinated yard period.
