INHOUSE DESIGN
ship designs for our clients. As an innovative
developer of new projects we have introduced
the
Schelde construction
in our inland tanker
designs. In collaboration with 'Schelde Naval
Shipbuilding' in Vlissingen we have performed
extensive calculations that have led to an
approved design for larger cargo tanks and a
crashworthy side skin of the ship. These cargo
tanks are ideal for large tankers. Because of their
size, they can decrease the number of cargo
tanks and thus different quantities of appendages.
Our organization has mastered the tailor made
design, calculation and engineering of inland and
maritime vessels. This enables us to provide our
customers a high degree of flexibility. The core
business of Rensen-Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. is
to design, build and supply all conceivable types
of ships and marine equipment, from complex
gas tankers, passenger ships to offshore barges.
The inland navigation market demands a wide
range of ship dimensions and design specifica-
tions. From small, light air draft tankers to large
bunker tankers and container ships. In the design
we consider the key criteria such as air draft,
carrying capacity, speed, stability, etc. Equally im-
portant is to incorporate the increasingly stringent
class and IVW (Traffic and Water Management)
rules and stability regulations in the designs.
Taking into account the important design require-
ments, Rensen-Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. posses-
ses extensive knowledge and experience in this
field to quickly and efficiently produce various
