Our organization has mastered the tailor made
design, calculation and engineering of inland
and maritime vessels. This enables us to pro-

The core business of Rensen-Driessen Ship-
building B.V. is to design, build and supply all
conceivable types of ships and marine equip-

ships to offshore barges.
The inland navigation market demands a wide
range of ship dimensions and design specifica-

bunker tankers and container ships. In the de

Equally important is to incorporate the incre-

Water Management) rules and stability re-

tensive knowledge and experience in this-
field to quickly and efficiently produce various
ship designs for our clients. As an innovative
