The Dutch shipbuilding cluster and maritime suppliers achieved good results in 2013, Netherlands Maritime Technology said. The total annual turnover increased from € 6.1 billion in 2012 to € 6.4 billion in 2013. Moreover, the substantially larger order portfolios compared to the previous year indicate further growth in 2014. Netherlands Maritime Technology expects a further increase in the turnover of the entire Dutch shipbuilding cluster this year. “Everything indicates that the economy has seen the worst and will slowly start to grow again,” says Chairman J.J.C.M. van Dooremalen.
