The company was founded in April 1971 by Mr. W. van Splunder en his wife Wilhelmina van Splunder van Belzen. With the purchase of their first vessel SCHOL which was named VB 1, the founding of the company was a fact.

In the early days of the company there where only a few companies active in the Flushing-East area; shipyard Royal Scheldt, Hoechst, Total refinery, Pechiney and the NV Haven van Vlissingen. In this same year the first part of the Container quay was made.


In the beginning the mooring and unmooring of vessels where not the only activities that where carried out; personel was lend out for stevedoring, ships and trains where loaded and unloaded, drove people using a taxi service and offices where cleaned. Cleary a lot of activities where undertaken in the first 10 years of the company.

In the past 25 years the company got more and more specialized in mooring / unmooring of vessels and offshorepontoons and extended it's provision of services to the shipping industry. From the founding till the beginning of the eighties most of the personel was working as a dayshift-based on-call employee but after this period and the expansion of the company they changed to a continuous service using a pool of contracted people. Since a couple of years we are a Certified learning-company Transport and logistics.

Currently the son and daughter of the founder are running the company.
