We are excited to announce that Theodoor de Jonge has started as managing director at DEKC Maritime! With 25 years of experience in the international maritime sector, Theodoor is a familiar face and brings valuable expertise to the team.
Together with Ferus Smit as co-shareholder, Theodoor has acquired the DEKC Maritime and Groot Ship Design shares from Nimbus hands-on investors, placing the companies in the hands of persons with strong ties to the maritime industry.
Ferus Smit, active in the Northern Netherlands shipbuilding industry through various companies, was eager to invest in both businesses alongside Theodoor de Jonge. Driven by his deep involvement in the shipbuilding sector and a desire to strengthen the maritime cluster in the Northern Netherlands, he found this partnership an exciting opportunity.
DEKC Maritime primarily focuses on the offshore (wind), one-offs/special projects, dredging, and operational markets, while Groot Ship Design is a leading player in the design of shortsea and ocean-going cargo vessels.
Both DEKC Maritime and Groot Ship Design will continue to operate autonomously under their own names, maintaining their focus on their respective market segments. Groot Ship Design will continue to be managed by Jan Willem Cuperus with Theodoor involved as a strategic partner.
