Bijma BV

Bijma BV is a Dutch company involved in towage and water transport, with a history starting in 1938. The fleet currently consists of five modern tugs with a combined power of 5,200 hp. Activities include assisting with ship launches, towing ship sections, newbuilding hulls, floating equipment, and renting deck barges and multifunctional pontoons. The company also operates a shipbroking office active in national and international inland chartering.

Bijma started in 1938 with a nearly half-century-old steam tugboat. Over 78 years, it grew into a specialist in (exceptional) water transport. From the early 1950s, the shipping company experienced a revival in ship newbuilding along the Winschoterdiep, providing assistance and towage services. Although activities in this maritime sector are decreasing, towage and related activities remain lively. In Europe, the work of Int. Sleepdienst v/h F. Bijma and Bijma B.V. includes assisting with ship launches, towing ship sections, newbuilding hulls, floating equipment, and renting deck barges and multifunctional pontoons. These activities focus mainly on inland waters but also apply to coastal navigation. The company has built a good reputation in Germany for exceptional and heavy water transport. Besides towage and heavy/volume transport, Scheepsbevrachtingskantoor Bijma is active in national and international inland chartering.
