Production

We take pride in our own production sites that build our ships from keel to mast.

Know-how and craftmanship are essential to constantly improve productivity, it needs years of relentless learning-by-doing. This has finally paid off in being able to build significantly faster and so compete on price with lower-labour countries, while keeping the advantage of West-European quality with certain deliveries.

At our site in Westerbroek we have a transversal slipway of 145mtr length. The bridges and locks to the sea limit the maximum breadth to 15.87 mtr.
To be able to offer also larger ships a second production site was opened in the year 2000 just across the border in Leer, Germany. The locks of Leer have dimensions of 192 * 26 mtr.

Both locations are equipped with modern covered building halls in which completely outfitted and coated ring blocks are built. These rings are subsequently assembled on our transversal slipways.
