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
Conversions and upgrades
In addition to newbuilds, we specialize in conversions, transforming existing vessels into upgrated, future-ready designs.
From engineering to execution, we tailor each project to the owner’s specific requirements and operational needs.
Global execution
We have extensive experience working with international clients and shipyards across Europe and Asia.
By combining local expertise with global coordination, we ensure smooth execution regardless of location.
Independent and reliable
As a certified maritime broker and arbitrator (EMCI/ADR), Handelskade stands for transparency, reliability and long-term partnerships.
Our independent position allows us to always act in the best interest of the client.
