VAN DAM SHIPPING

Van Dam Shipping is a true family business. Jan van Dam grew up in an inland shipping family and was himself a captain on an inland shipping tanker by the age of 21. Unlike his predecessors, he made a career switch to the seagoing shipping sector in 1990. When strong growth led to the purchase of eight new ships in 2006-2008, he made the switch from captain to ship owner... We want to be the greenest transport partner for our customers. To this end, we focus on developing new, sustainable technologies within our own fleet and a zero emission focus within all our shipping movements. But we also work on sustainable developments for the shipping industry as a whole. We participate in various projects that deal with sustainability on board ships and we work together with universities on new techniques for more sustainable shipping.
