Royal IHC

Royal IHC designs and builds specialized vessels, equipment, and integrated systems for the dredging, offshore, mining, and defence industries. Its engineering scope spans maritime technology, dredging technology, offshore equipment engineering, shipbuilding and vessel design, mining solutions, defence naval solutions, and integrated maritime systems. Work ranges from custom-built ships constructed to customer specification to purpose-built dredging vessels and offshore equipment, delivered either as discrete assets or as part of end-to-end integrated solutions covering initial concept through final delivery and lifecycle service.

The engineering base is distributed across production facilities, engineering centers, and service hubs on five continents - Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania - with the company's origins in the Netherlands. Operating continuity dates to 1642, giving the organization more than 380 years of accumulated maritime engineering practice, including Dutch expertise in water control. Technical work targets demanding operating environments where reliability and efficiency are constraints rather than aspirations.

Sustainability and environmental technology form one of the company's stated technical domains, alongside traditional maritime disciplines. Integrated solutions and services are structured to improve operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact, and the company positions continuous innovation and technological advancement as core to how it develops its vessels and equipment.
