Scheepvaartondernemingen
Scheepvaartondernemingen, or shipping companies, are businesses primarily engaged in the transportation of goods and passengers by water. These enterprises operate a diverse range of vessels, from massive container ships and oil tankers to smaller ferries and tugboats. The core business of a scheepvaartonderneming involves managing the logistics of maritime transport, including vessel chartering, cargo booking, route planning, and port operations. They play a crucial role in global trade, facilitating the movement of raw materials, manufactured goods, and people across continents and oceans.
The industry is highly competitive and capital-intensive, requiring significant investment in vessels, infrastructure, and skilled personnel.
