Dutch shipyards are looking to the Future

摘要

Shipyards are the backbone of the Dutch maritime cluster. For centuries, our shipyards have been a breeding ground for innovation. From the 18th-century cargo ships that sailed the seven seas, to the high-tech vessels that are launched today, it all started with an idea combined with determination. It is an industry that can lean on the knowledge gathered by many generations. Heritage, it is a word that comes to mind. Don't mistake heritage for old fashioned or living in the past. Dutch shipyards are looking to the future and get motivated instead of discouraged when told that it cannot be done. Maritime Holland asked several shipyards on what new projects they are working on and how they see the future.
