RensenDriessen Boek 2020 - 2021

DEAR READER,

The world has changed rapidly as the spread of Covid-19 continues to be a growing concern across the globe. We are proud to support our customers as they work to keep this world moving. Together with our team and partners we will continue to take proactive measures to reduce exposure in our facilities, while maintaining our commitment to serve our customers. Our local survey team has grown to 12 members, ensuring best in class quality control and project management. This is even more crucial for our business operation now, as we maintain our high quality standard in times of suspended and limited international travel. We are proud of every RensenDriessen ship out there. Proud, because we know we have designed and delivered a ship that is dedicated to delivering long-term value. Our services offered throughout the ship life-cycle, innovative technology and sharp focus on customer demand help our customers succeed. Last year’s biggest innovation push focused on our low water runners. Low tides are no longer exceptional and seem to occur more frequently, currently damaging the reliability of the inland shipping industry. We have been pushing hard to be able to transport more tonnage with more ease through low tides. New tests and analyses have led to design improvements in weight distribution, weight reduction, and propulsion. At the same time we remain focused to safeguard our environment. Our approach to environmental stewardship means we design and build efficient ships and solutions to minimize environmental impact. We are dedicated and ready to deliver stage V engine requirements, adhering to the new ADN regulations.

The newest of our designs are in this book, including our 1,000 th launch. I hope you enjoy reading.

I wish you a prosperous business.

Wim Driessen
