For nearly a century, De Koperen Ploeg has been a trusted partner for maritime and technical services in the port of Amsterdam. Since our founding in 1926, we have played a key role in ensuring the smooth and safe operations of seagoing vessels. Our highly trained and certified boatmen provide mooring, unmooring, and shifting services to guarantee the safe arrival and departure of ships, minimizing risks for the vessel and its surroundings.

Beyond mooring operations, we offer a comprehensive range of 24/7 nautical and logistics services to support shipping companies, terminals, and port authorities. Our expertise extends to marine consultancy, where we advise on operational efficiency and safety measures within the port. Additionally, we provide boat rental with an experienced skipper, offering flexible support for port-related activities.

Logistics play a vital role in maritime operations, and we facilitate the transport of ship’s stores and spare parts, ensuring vessels are fully supplied and operational. Our fully temperature-controlled storage solutions allow for the safe preservation of perishable and sensitive cargo. For ships requiring additional manpower, we offer supplementary crew supply, ensuring seamless transitions and efficient workflows onboard.

Our technical services include the installation of fenders and oil booms, vital for the protection of vessels and port infrastructure. We also assist with diving operations, anchor replacements, emergency repairs, and other specialized support. With extensive experience in customs services, we streamline import and export procedures, allowing for smooth cargo handling within the port of Amsterdam.

Operating around the clock, we are always ready to assist in emergency situations, providing rapid response and effective solutions when time is critical. By working closely with the Amsterdam Port Authority, local terminals, and shipping agents, we maintain the highest standards of reliability and efficiency.
