Global shipbuilding solutions.

Handelskade is a Dutch shipbuilding contractor with over 30 years of experience in building inland and shortsea vessels. We operate globally, with a strong focus on Vietnam and East-Europe.

Our flexible model for shipbuilding without owning a shipyard allows us to select the best available yard for each project, always aiming for the optimal price-quality ratio.

From design to delivery

With a wide network of trusted shipyards and suppliers, Handelskade manages and controls the full process:

Design, equipment procurement, logistics, supervision, trials, delivery, warranty, and after-sales. We act as a single point of contact throughout the project, ensuring clear communication, control and efficiency from start to finish
