COMPANY PROFILE

Founded in 1980 in Zwijndrecht – within a stone’s throw of Rotterdam and still our home base – we’ve been building ships for over three decades now. We’ve been through the ups and downs in this market and we can safely say with 675 ships built to date, we know how to anticipate ever-changing market conditions and customer demands.

A lot is happening in our inland shipping industry. Some of the markets we serve are experiencing setbacks, while others have seen the worst and are sailing towards brighter horizons.

In these challenging market conditions we are very clear on our role in this world. We enable inland ship owners to use the ships they need to deliver their long-term business goals. We bring a commitment of exceptional customer focus to everything we do – from our smart engineering to post-delivery support, every step along the way. We do this through our partnership approach and offering tailor-made shipbuilding solutions where you need them.

And with every ship completed, we see our way of working resonating. Based on our performance over the years, RensenDriessen ships have come to stand for quality, trust and efficiency. And we will continue to meet and surpass this standard every day.

We’re not afraid to set big goals - we aim to be the European industry benchmark for quality and value creation in the niche markets of inland ship design, building and brokerage. Anchored in values and strong ethics, RensenDriessen achieves success through excellence and innovation, with a sharp focus on customer demand. We understand your business situation holistically and anticipate your needs.

OUR TEAM

At RensenDriessen, we foster long-lasting partnerships with our clients as well as within our team. Not surprisingly, it’s all familiar faces here. As a team and individually, we’re responsible for creating the best solutions for our clients.

We act with pace, pride, and passion. We’re not afraid to take ownership of the situation and the initiative to make things happen. We challenge both ourselves and our partners to constantly improve and develop. And we have fun doing it, because we get to do what we love every day. Almost all of us were born and raised in this industry. It’s not just work, it’s our world.

This is us. Together we make the difference.

SHIP DESIGN

At RensenDriessen, it’s all about you. The science of ship design starts with the art of the conversation. Here’s what we do: listening closely, talking, and interpreting your exact needs, helping you imagine what an excellent ship would look like for your particular business. We’re here to meet and exceed your expectations on quality, delivery times, design, maintenance cost, and resale value. Our in-house design team, including close collaborations with our reputable partners Rommerts Ship Design B.V. and MK Marine, has the extensive skills, expertise, and experience to translate your design requirements into a tailor-made vessel design, up until the very last detail. And if an existing design fits your purpose, we’re your partner too. The spirit of innovation drives every action at RensenDriessen. A continuous effort at developing cutting-edge technologies and design solutions allows us to create a positive customer experience and improve efficiencies. And that ultimately leads to value creation. The Y-Shape hull construction in our inland tanker designs is one of those innovations. This structure is used to better sustain a hit. It’s the new way of building structures that rely on an optimal impact resistance. Transporting and fuelling your ship with LNG is simply safer, thus allowing Y-Shape hull tankers to carry more tanks than other ships.

SHIPBUILDING

Once we’ve all agreed on the construction drawing and the design has been approved, we select the shipyard together. As a shipyard-independent company, we maintain close partnerships with several shipyards at home and abroad. This enables us to find the best fit for your specific ship design and needs, while guaranteeing RensenDriessen quality. Our building surveyors will fully manage the operation on your behalf, from start to finish. This ensures project progress and timely supply deliveries and inspections. After the hull build is completed and inspected, the hull will be transported to The Netherlands. Optionally, we offer you our turn-key delivery. Together with you, we select one of our reputable completion-build yards.

We are here to meet and exceed your needs. We call it our RensenDriessen Standard. In short, this means you can leave any worrying up to us. So lean on us. We guarantee you the quality and lead time of your vessel. No matter what. No matter when.

Our portfolio is comprised of dry-load vessels, tankers, passenger ships, and pontoons and our network spans across Europe, including all ten Danube countries.

It’s not just our extensive network, experience, and expertise that you can build on. We’re here for you. We take pride in offering you the best solution. Together, we’ll find the right ship and the right financing scheme.

What’s truly unique about how we work is our trading-in system, which takes the guesswork out of your transaction, offering you peace of mind, so you can invest all your time and attention on your business.

George Rensen (sworn shipbroker), Wim Driessen, Edwin Diepeveen, and Twan de Goeij (EMCI-certified shipbrokers) have been operating in the European market of existing vessels for quite some time now. Our network includes most branches of the inland shipping industry.

One of these branches is the passenger vessel branch, with its own unique requirements and specifics. Edwin Diepeveen is a specialized cruise ship broker with a deep understanding of the markets whom spearheads our passenger vessel division.

Our successful series of the MoneyMaker tanker type was extended and improved yet again by delivering Elvire. The MoneyMaker is well-known for her high speed - low fuel consumption, optimized draught, and her great range, thanks to its very low draft. 2,180 tons at a depth of 2,80 m. It has a fuel consumption of 140 litres per hour at a cruising speed of 9,5 km/h upstream (past Duisburg). Another MoneyMaker set out to live up to its name!

MTS BARONES: THE RIGHT PROPORTIONS AND A GOOD OVERVIEW

By the time we board while it discharges at Vopak in the Botlek, the new ship has already sailed three times. Paulus Hoefnagel serves us coffee in the generously spacious wheelhouse. Before starting the interview we all recall moments of an enjoyable, sunny day in Zwijndrecht. This is where many relatives, friends and business relations of the Bosman- Hoefnagel family visited the newly delivered MTS Barones during the open day. They also witnessed Tilly Hoefnagel christen the new ship. Before the ceremony Wim Driessen thanked the family for their continued support.

Only then do you get an uncluttered ship without many doodahs. Because the deck has a concentration of several well-planned work stations, everything can be linked and managed in an organized way.

their first talk with Wim Driessen in Zwijndrecht. After building four ships, the interaction felt just like old times. At first you discuss mainly steel prices and delivery times. The choice for the kind of ship to be built was not a topic of discussion: they wanted a full copy of the MTS Regentes. That worked out well, as Wim Driessen said he had an option at the shipyard to deliver this type of ship. The family immediately jumped on this head start. In subsequent talks, Hoefnagel and Driessen discussed the existing blueprints for the sister ship. Hoefnagel: “Of course with the old ship in mind we carefully thought in advance about whether we wanted any changes or improvements for the new ship, then decided that the formula of the Regentes should be applied unchanged for the new ship. During the four years that we have sailed with that ship we haven’t come across any situations that would justify a constructional adaptation for the new MTS Barones. The only exception is that the foundations for a bunkering boom and coils will not be part of this construction because the ship will be set up differently. When building the MTS Barones, equipped with protective double- siding (Y-shape construction), we will apply the same construction as with its older sister ship, using the same high-grade steel for the loading section. This results in a much stronger construction while needing considerably less material.” The application of this proven design that Hoefnagel built together with Rensen-Driessen Shipbuilding and Rommerts Ship Design also means saving at least 150 tons of steel with the MTS Barones. According to Hoefnagel, “When it comes to the price tag you have to think in practical terms and not build things that aren’t necessary.”

Hoefnagel tells us that the tanker Barones is already the sixth newbuilding vessel that brought the family into service. Two dry cargo vessels and 4 tanker vessels. It all started fifteen years ago, when the family ordered their first new tank ship, which for them launched the transition from dry cargo to tanker shipping. By the time the switch was made, Paulus had gathered ample experience at sea as well as with inland navigation. Two years later came the 110,00-meter first MTS Iduna and in 2010 the 135,00-meter second Iduna. Being an entrepreneur means looking ahead. In 2012 they started thinking about another new ship measuring 135,00 meters. The family was immediately offered an existing hull for purchase. After talking with Rensen-Driessen Shipbuilding, it turned out that they could make a much more budget-friendly offer. The family could also have the ship built according to their own design and specifications. The ship was delivered in 2014 under the name Regentes, measuring 135,00 x 17,55 x 5,01 meters. The entirety of the ship’s measurements, design, workmanship and technical specifications was highly regarded and eagerly followed within the industry. “After several years of sailing with the MTS Regentes under fluctuating conditions we know the ship and all the tools on board thoroughly, be it in terms of manoeuvring, loading or discharging”, says Hoefnagel. For the family, this formula adds up to a validation of the ship’s profitability within their business and its place in the market. It was only natural that by mid-2016 the family was talking about building another ship. Tentative, noncommittal discussions gradually developed into an outlined, definitive plan. They soon made an agreement with Wim Driessen. Incidentally, Wim and Paulus know each other from boarding school. Ellen Bosman and Paulus Hoefnagel had

After clearly including all of this in the blueprints and contracts, documents were signed with Rensen-Driessen Shipbuilding for the fourth time. And so the initial option was transformed into a definitive construction project for a quick delivery of the hull. Hoefnagel candidly expresses how glad he is to be able to maintain such a good business relationship with Wim Driessen. The hull was built at the Severnav shipyard in Romania. The family has been going there since 2003, and this time around too, during the construction, they have visited three times and met many old acquaintances. The hull was towed via an external route from there to Hoek van Holland, where it was delivered for assembly. Hoefnagel speaks fast and excitedly when asked how the family would summarize the period of construction and assembly: “The big advantage of the MTS Barones is that the ship, built with ‘only’ 12 tanks, is good for 9,000 tons. Compare this with any 135,00-meter ship of about 6,000 tons, which generally has to operate 18 to 24 tanks. On balance the MTS Barones is still a large ship, but with its 12 tanks it is by any standard an easy and orderly ship, in which everything has been executed in the right proportions. And business- wise, this is what makes the difference between a ‘regular’ ship and this Barones.” His sister Tilly Hoefnagel and brother-in-law Marijn van de Geer will be sailing on the ship.

MTS BARONES: JUISTE PROPORTIES EN GOED OVERZICHT

Het nieuwe schip heeft al weer drie reizen achter de rug als wij er aan boord stappen tijdens het lossen bij Vopak in de Botlek. In het meer dan riante stuurhuis plaatst Paulus Hoefnagel de koffie voor ons op tafel. Voor we het interview aanvangen blikken we met hem nog even terug op een geslaagde feestelijke en zonnige dag in Zwijndrecht. Veel familie, vrienden en relaties van de familie Bosman-Hoefnagel bezochten daar het opgeleverde mts Barones tijdens de open dag. Ze waren tevens getuige hoe Tilly Hoefnagel daar het nieuwe schip doopte. Voorafgaand aan de plechtigheid dankt Wim Driessen de familie voor het vertrouwen dat hij opnieuw van ze kreeg.

hebben in Zwijndrecht een eerste gesprek met Wim Driessen. Na het bouwen van mts Regentes voelt het over en weer meteen als vanouds. In aanvang gaat het vooral over staalprijzen en levertijden. De keus wat voor schip er moest worden gebouwd was geen onderwerp van gesprek: ze willen een volledige kopie van het mts Regentes. Dat komt heel goed uit want Wim Driessen vertelt dat hij bij de werf over een optie beschikt voor een levering van dit type schip. Die voorsprong kan de familie meteen in haar zak steken. Tijdens enkele vervolg gesprekken hebben Hoefnagel en Driessen zich gebogen over de reeds bestaande bouwtekening van het zusterschip. ‘Natuurlijk hebben we vooraf zorgvuldig nagedacht of er ten opzichte van het vorige schip nog veranderingen of verbeteringen aan het nieuwe moesten worden doorgevoerd’ horen we van Hoefnagel. ‘Maar we bleven er bij dat de formule van de Regentes ongewijzigd moest worden toegepast op de nieuwbouw. Tijdens de vier jaar dat we met dat schip varen hebben we geen situaties kunnen ontdekken die een constructieve aanpassing voor het nieuwe mts Barones zou rechtvaardigen. De uitzondering is dat de fundatie voor een bunkergiek en spiralen niet in de bouw zullen worden opgenomen omdat het schip op een andere wijze wordt ingezet. Wel wordt bij de bouw van het met een Scheldehuid uitgevoerde mts Barones ook de eerder bij het zusterschip toegepaste constructie van het lading gedeelte opnieuw uitgevoerd met gebruik van het zelfde hoogwaardige staal. Dat heeft de eigenschap van een veel hogere sterkte maar er is beduidend minder van nodig. De toepassing van deze beproefde bouwwijze die Hoefnagel in samenspraak met Rensen Driessen Shipbuilding en Rommerts Ship Design liet uitvoeren betekent ook voor het mts Barones een besparing van maar liefst 150 ton staal. Hoefnagel vervolgt: ‘verder moet je voor het kostenplaatje vooral praktijkgericht denken en geen dingen bouwen die niet nodig zijn’. Pas dan kom je tot een goed overzichtelijk schip zonder poespas.

Aangeland bij het onderwerp van ons gesprek vertelt Hoefnagel dat het mts Barones al weer het zesde nieuwbouwschip is dat de familie in de vaart heeft gebracht. Twee droge lading schepen en vier tankers. Vijftien jaar terug gaf de familie opdracht voor hun eerste nieuwbouw tankschip dat voor hen tevens een succesvolle overgang inluidde van droge lading naar de tankvaart. Paulus had voor die overstap ruime ervaring opgebouwd, zowel op zee als in de binnenvaart. Twee jaar later volgde het eerste mts Iduna van 110,00 meter en in 2010 de tweede Iduna van 135,00 meter. Ondernemen is vooruitzien. In 2012 werd nagedacht over een opvolgende nieuwbouw van 135,00 meter. Vanuit de markt wordt de familie direct een bestaand casco aangeboden. In gesprek met Rensen- Driessen Shipbuilding blijkt dat die een veel budget vriendelijker voorstel kunnen doen. Bovendien kan de familie ook nog eens geheel naar eigen inzicht en specificaties laten bouwen. Het schip werd in 2014 opgeleverd onder de naam Regentes met een maatvoering van 135,00 x 17,55 x 5,01 meter. Binnen het geheel van haar afmetingen, uitvoering, afwerking en technische toepassingen kreeg de bouw van dit schip veel aanzien en navolging binnen de branche. ‘Na enkele jaren onder wisselende omstandigheden varen met het mts Regentes kennen we het schip en alle tools aan boord door en door’ zegt Hoefnagel. ‘Zowel bij het manoevreuren en laden en lossen.’ De optelsom van deze formule betekent voor de familie een bevestiging van de profijtelijkheid van het schip binnen de onderneming en haar plaats in de markt. Het kan dan ook bijna niet anders dat medio 2016 bij de familie aan tafel het onderwerp nieuwbouw als vanzelf weer eens op tafel belandt. Eerst werd er als verkenning wat vrijblijvend gesproken en stilaan werd het een omlijnd definitief plan. Een afspraak met Wim Driessen was snel gemaakt. Wim en Paulus kennen elkaar overigens al vanaf hun tijd op het internaat in Nijmegen. Ellen Bosman en Paulus Hoefnagel

Nadat al het voorgaande voor een ieder duidelijk in de bouwtekeningen en contracten was terug te vinden werden daar tegenover Rensen Driessen Shipbuilding de benodigde handtekeningen onder gezet. Daarmee werd de aanvankelijke optie omgezet in een definitieve bouwopdracht voor een snelle levering van het casco dat opnieuw gebouwd zal worden op de Roemeense werf van Severnav Shipyard. De familie komt daar al sinds 2003 en is er ook nu tijdens de bouw drie maal op bezoek geweest en ontmoetten er opnieuw veel bekenden. Het casco werd vandaar buitenom naar Hoek van Holland versleept waar het gezond en wel voor afbouw werd afgeleverd. Als wij Hoefnagel vragen hoe de familie de periode van bouw en afbouw zou willen samenvatten vallen meteen de woorden snel en voorspoedig. Openhartig voegt hij daar aan toe dat hij blij is om op deze wijze met Wim Driessen ook het zakelijk contact zo goed te onderhouden. Het grootste voordeel van het mts Barones vindt Hoefnagel dat het schip is gebouwd met ’slechts’ 12 tanks en goed is voor 9.000 ton. Vergelijk dat eens met een willekeurig 135,00 meter schip van zo’n 6.000 ton; die hebben doorgaans 18 tot 24 tanks te bedienen. Het mts Barones blijft per saldo een groot schip maar met zijn 12 tanks is het tot in de puntjes een gemakkelijk en overzichtelijk schip geworden waarin alles in de juiste proporties is uitgevoerd. ‘En dat maakt voor de bedrijfsvoering het verschil tussen een ‘gewoon’ tankschip en deze Barones’ stelt Hoefnagel. Zus Tilly Hoefnagel en zwager Marijn van de Geer zullen er op gaan varen.

Our successful series of the MoneyMaker tanker type was extended and improved yet again by delivering Tripolis. The MoneyMaker is well-known for her high speed - low fuel consumption, optimized draught, and her great range, thanks to its very low draft. 2,180 tons at a depth of 2,80 m. It has a fuel consumption of 140 litres per hour at a cruising speed of 9,5 km/h upstream (past Duisburg). Another MoneyMaker set out to live up to its name!
