FERUS SMIT SHIPYARDS

Our company has been active in shipbuilding for over 100 years. Its history is one about hard work and includes a good deal of rowing upstream if neccessary. This past reflects in what we are now. A solid family-owned company, focussing on long term continuity and relationships. Constantly in search for the smallest steps forward in improving its own processes and products. A lot of those steps over the years bring an important advantage in the end. Our improvements are driven by knowledge and craftmanship. Therefore we keep both design & engineering and production of our ships for 100% in-house. Only then we can overview and control the complete chain, assuring quality as a standard for our clients. With our workforce of 200 people we build of 6 to 8 vessels anually. The company has two building sites: at Westerbroek, Groningen (also Offices), and Leer, Germany.
