IHC Krimpen Shipyard, part of the IHC Merwede Group, recently achieved the NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2000 certificate for the design and construction of complex units in the market sectors offshore, passenger ships, dredging vessels, navy vessels and special vessels using in house expertise.

Considering IHC Krimpen Shipyard’s market and products, customer and market expectations (important aspects of ISO 9001) have been an essential part of business processes for a long time.

The certification process has been utilised to clarify business processes for employees and served as a texture for the continual improvement of products and production processes. In addition, these processes have only been restricted up to their basic lines, so there is still enough flexibility to respond promptly to customers’ specific demands and needs.

IHC Krimpen Shipyard’s management considers the quality management system as a useful tool to pursue the chosen way of professionalizing and constantly improving itself in an energetic way.
