In 2015, the Dutch ship yards saw a small decline in orders, mostly caused by the low oil price and the accompanying decrease in offshore investments. For 2016, turnover is expected to be fifteen to twenty per cent lower that in 2015.
In SWZ Maritime's May issue, you'll find an infographic which creates a representative overview of Dutch shipbuilding in 2015. Subscribers can download the infographic in high resolution from our digital issue page.
