What a fantastic video! 🌊 There she goes, the first ROTRA XL vessel: Rotra Futura. At DEKC Maritime, we are very proud to have played a significant role in the design & engineering of this innovative project. Congratulations to all parties involved on reaching this milestone! 🎉

🌊 New managing director and shareholders for DEKC Maritime 🌊 We are excited to announce that Theodoor de Jonge has started as managing director at DEKC Maritime! With 25 years of experience in the international maritime sector, Theodoor is a familiar face and brings valuable expertise to the team. Together with Ferus Smit as co-shareholder, Theodoor has acquired the DEKC Maritime and Groot Ship Design shares from Nimbus hands-on investors, placing the companies in the hands of persons with strong ties to the maritime industry. Ferus Smit, active in the Northern Netherlands shipbuilding industry through various companies, was eager to invest in both businesses alongside Theodoor de Jonge. Driven by his deep involvement in the shipbuilding sector and a desire to strengthen the maritime cluster in the Northern Netherlands, he found this partnership an exciting opportunity. DEKC Maritime primarily focuses on the offshore (wind), one-offs/special projects, dredging, and operational markets, while Groot Ship Design is a leading player in the design of shortsea and ocean-going cargo vessels. Both DEKC Maritime and Groot Ship Design will continue to operate autonomously under their own names, maintaining their focus on their respective market segments. Groot Ship Design will continue to be managed by Jan Willem Cuperus with Theodoor involved as a strategic partner. Are you interested in learning more about these developments? We’d love to hear from you!

Our team designs and creates vessels. Sometimes we start with a well-developed plan, sometimes we start from zero with just an idea. Designing a vessel is a complicated project. It does not only need to be able to sail from A to B: it must also be able to withstand waves, currents, extreme weather conditions and other heavy forces. What's more, the vessel must be manageable for the crew. The challenge? Crafting a vessel that not only reaches its destination safely but also performs its job reliably, no matter the conditions. Curious about how we achieve this? Find the link to the full article in the comments below! 👇

In a world where sustainability and environmental friendliness are becoming increasingly important, many industries are searching for innovative ways to reduce their impact on the environment, including the shipping industry. An important development involves smartly utilizing the wind through streamlining and steel sails. In addition to fuel savings, steel sails also contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and make ships less dependent on fossil fuels. Read all about the development here! https://lnkd.in/e3dQrXy4

🚀 From the Drawing Board to the Field! 🌊 At our maritime engineering firm, it’s not just about digital designs but also about experiencing what we create firsthand. By regularly visiting our clients, we see our work in action and learn directly from the results. This keeps us connected to both theory and practice! This mindset aligns perfectly with our recent visit to Van Oord, where we witnessed the practical impact of our engineering solutions up close. Following the success of our previous collaboration on the Svanen project, where our team did a full design/strength review of the complete vessel, necessary vessel reinforcements and the design of the new 900-ton steel top gantry, we were thrilled to see the results come to life. A special thank you to Maarten Loman from Van Oord for taking the time to guide us through the vessel. This unique opportunity to see our work up close before the ship sets sail was a fantastic experience! 🌟🚀
