What Scheepswerf Peter Tinnemans does

Scheepswerf Peter Tinnemans is a Dutch family-owned shipyard founded in 1960 by Jan and Corrie Tinnemans in Maasbracht, Netherlands, operating across three locations with a workforce of approximately 25 employees. The company designs, constructs, and repairs inland navigation vessels up to 135 meters in length and 11.45 meters in width, including push barges, cargo barges, tankers, pontoons, ferries, and recreational craft. Core capabilities span hull construction under Lloyds classification, ship lengthening and shortening, tanker-to-cargo-barge conversions, and specialized aluminum hatch and wheelhouse fabrication. The facility is equipped with CNC cutting tables, four plate rolling machines (handling plates from 1500mm x 3mm to 3000mm x 30mm), a 300-ton hydraulic press, plate bending machines up to 12 meters, and waterjet cutting for stainless steel up to 20mm.

The shipyard operates a 1000-ton capacity dry dock with two independent sections for rapid dry-docking, repair, and preservation of vessels, alongside a specialized screw dock for propeller, propeller shaft, and rudder service. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts for new construction, conversions, dry dock repair services, CNC and metalworking services, and sales of ship equipment including anchor windlasses and spud pile winches. The company has expanded into recreational and multifunctional aluminum boats, producing the Stagnum Runabout 1300 (740HP, 75 km/h), Discover It, Supernova 36, and the Happy Bootje concept. Customers include commercial inland waterway shipping companies (P&B Beheer, Kuypers Kessel Beheer BV, P. van Bergen), municipal ferry authorities (Gemeenschappelijke Regeling Veerponten Limburgse Maas for four Limburgse Maas crossings), port infrastructure operators (KRVE, Prinses Magriethaven), and private vessel owners. Go-to-market is direct project sales with custom quotations and no public pricing, primarily serving the Dutch inland waterways sector.
