About IHC Merwede

IHC Merwede is focused on the continuous development of its design and construction activities for the specialised shipbuilding sector, in particular the dredging and offshore industries.
IHC Merwede is world market leader in the construction of specialist dredging equipment. IHC Merwede is also recognised as an outstanding builder of complex, custom-built vessels for offshore construction. The clients of IHC Merwede include major dredging companies, oil and gas exploration groups, offshore contractors and government authorities.
IHC Merwede has a staff of approximately 2,800 at its locations in the Netherlands. There are also branches in China, India, the Middle East, Nigeria, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

The IHC Merwede units have been grouped together in three divisions: Dredging & Mining, Offshore & Marine, and the group of sector-related products and services. Because of the technological expertise it brings together, this division is now known as Technology & Services.

We want to provide continuity for our stakeholders. As a technological concern, we facilitate the life cycle of our clients' capital assets.
