At Den Breejen Shipyard, shipbuilding is in our blood.

We design, develop, and build fully 'custom-built' vessels and are based in a modern facility with a well-equipped company site (including outfitting quays and dry docks) directly adjacent to the Merwede River, one of the main waterways in the Netherlands. Den Breejen stands for quality and commitment, and the company culture is informal, open, people-oriented, and pragmatic.
