OUR HISTORY

Jansma Shipping is a new entity built on the strong foundation of Jansma Shipyard, which has been a staple of the Dutch inland shipping sector for many years. While the shipyard continues to build and maintain a wide range of vessels, Jansma Shipping was created to focus specifically on innovative and sustainable maritime solutions. With deep roots in the maritime industry, we are committed to driving the shift to zero-emission retrofitting solutions and sustainable practices in inland navigation.
