Ports

Close to the berth, wherever she is.

Being near the ship matters more than any brochure promise. Our workshop, stock and test equipment sit inside the Rotterdam port area, which keeps travel short and lets us react when a job comes up at short notice.

  • Rotterdam

    Our base is in Distripark Eemhaven, a few minutes from the Waalhaven and Eemhaven terminals. From there we cover the whole port: city docks, Botlek, Europoort and the Maasvlakte, alongside or at the lay-by berths.

  • Dordrecht & Moerdijk

    Short-sea, inland and chemical terminals up river. Well within a normal working day from our workshop.

  • Amsterdam & IJmuiden

    Vessels in the North Sea Canal ports and at the IJmuiden locks, on request.

  • Vlissingen & Terneuzen

    Westerschelde ports, often combined with a job in Antwerp on the same trip.

  • Antwerp & Ghent

    Belgian ports on request. Tell us the berth and the ETA and we will plan the crossing.

Europe and worldwide

Your ship's route is our service area.

Few ships can wait for their next call in Rotterdam to have their safety equipment serviced. Tell us where she is heading and when she arrives, and we confirm who will attend before you commit.

  • Europe

    Our own technicians

    From Rotterdam our technicians travel to ships across Europe, from the North Sea and the Baltic to the Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean. Where an experienced technician from our network can reach the ship sooner, they attend instead.

  • Worldwide

    A service network along the main trade routes

    Ships trade on routes, not around one port. Our network of experienced service technicians covers the major hubs of the Americas, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, so inspections and certificates are renewed where the ship actually calls, not when she is back in Europe.

  • How it works

    One order, one contact, one record

    You book with us and deal with us. We plan the job, brief the technicians on the ship and her equipment, and file every report and certificate in your customer portal. Work by network technicians is certified under their own company's approvals.

Your ship is coming in. Where will she berth?

A vessel name, an IMO number and an ETA are enough to get a quote moving. Attach last year's certificates if you have them.
