Rensen-Driessen Ship Brokers B.V. is an outstanding partner for the negotiation, purchase, sale and
financing of existing ships. Our business consists of dry cargo vessels, tankers, passenger ships and
pontoons. Our experience and expertise enables us to provide even starters with expert guidance
and advice about the right vessel and the right financing options.
George Rensen (sworn shipbroker), Wim Driessen and Twan de Goeij (both qualified E.M.C.I.
shipbrokers) have for a long time been active in the existing ship market, both in the Netherlands
and abroad. Our network is huge and covers many different areas of the maritime industry.
When you use our services, you get what you are looking for because you will have chosen our
personal way of doing business.
After spending years on board, George Rensen returned to dry land and at the age of 33 started
work at a ships mortgage bank as commercial assistant. Several years later, he decided he wanted
to set up his own company and in 1980 he founded Rensen B.V. with which he began to focus on
ship brokerage. In due course George Rensen was able to call himself a “sworn shipbroker” but he
wanted to do more than broker the purchase and sale of existing ships so he began to specialise in
the design, construction and completion of hulls. Negotiating the purchase and sale of existing
ships was taken over by Wim Driessen and Twan de Goeij in 2006. They changed the name of the
company to Rensen-Driessen Ship Brokers B.V.
The leaders of Rensen-Driessen Ship Brokers B.V. form a close and enthusiastic team that has
earned its place in the maritime industry, both in the tanker and dry cargo industries. The inland
waterway market is going through turbulent times. In spite of this, with regard to the purchase and
sale of existing ships, there is still some movement in the market. Rensen-Driessen Ship Brokers B.V.
manages to flourish, even when times are tough, because of the personal approach they have
toward doing business.
On account of the fact that the development and construction of ships takes place with the
“Rensen-Driessen Group”, we are able to take care of everything you need under one roof.
