Next Generation shipyards
Where innovation meets shipbuilding
our story
We are the Next Generation
At Next Generation Shipyards, we combine craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Our specialised work vessels, up to a length of 40 metres, are designed for maximum efficiency, durability and performance.
In addition to our own designs, we also build fully customised ships. Whether it’s an open design or a unique one-off concept, we specialise in one-off construction. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We are actively working on autonomous vessels and committed to fossil-free sailing. Through continuous innovation, we are shaping a new generation of vessels with a reduced ecological footprint. We don’t just build ships, we take responsibility for future generations. From design to maintenance, we take care of everything.
Building for the Future
Full Control, from Start to Finish
We carry out the entire shipbuilding process in-house at our shipyard in Lauwersoog — from design and engineering to complete commissioning. By keeping everything under our own control, we build smarter and better. The result: an efficient and reliable vessel.
Examples of ships we build include crew tender vessels for the offshore wind industry, pilot vessels, specialist survey and research vessels, water taxis and autonomous craft. Our clients range from private companies to government agencies.
Sustainability
Ready for the future
Sustainability is a core value in everything we do. We build future-proof vessels designed for a long lifespan, with a strong focus on minimizing their ecological footprint. This applies not only to the final product but also to the entire construction process. Our shipyard is energy-positive, we treat waste as a valuable resource, and we strive for maximum material reuse. Additionally, we actively contribute to nature and environmental initiatives in our region. Together, we are building a sustainable future, on and around the water.
Sustainable yard
Our shipyard runs entirely on green energy. Solar panels on the roofs of our buildings generate more electricity each year than we consume. This makes us energy-positive.
Sustainable ships
Every ship that leaves our yard is built with the future in mind. Less fuel consumption, smarter designs and a focus on renewable energy sources.
