The North Sea and the Netherlands have been important suppliers of Oil and Gas.
We cooperate with leading energy operators and offshore companies, active on and around the North Sea. Besides offshore units we handle energy platforms and other constructions, that can be re-used or re-moved.

For our buyers only we can sail your vessel to any place in the world !
For buyers of smaller vessels, who do not have a crew available for the 1st voyage to buyers home port, we may be able to organise the delivery voyage of your vessel from port of purchase or delivery to the required port of destination.
We may have specialised Dutch crew available for the delivery-voyage of the vessel but also for the physical preparation of the vessel for such voyage. Besides offering this service to our own relations, we can also take care of such for buyers of vessels, for whom we did not involve in the purchase or sale. We can offer this service against competive rates and costs and we are happy to send you our offer, after (!) you have purchased the vessel.
With a bit of luck we may also arrange a cargo to cover the voyage costs.
We have a longer experience with towing smaller objects and single and double hull tankers to West Africa and South America and therefore are also able to offer voyages under tow as well. (all subject to availability of the tug and/or the crew)
Delivery voyage conditions
Arranging a delivery voyage or a voyage under tow is an additional service that we provide. A delivery of a vessel is a separate independent transaction and a service that is being provided by a separate company not being the seller. This service is therefore never a part of the sale or purchase agreeement. Sellers of a vessel deliver normally 'as is / where is' and do not want to take over the responsability of a voyage or doing such beyond their normal trading limits.
Pre-payment
The costs of a delivery voyage are to be paid in full immediately after an agreement has been reached. This payment will be kept in a separated trustee account on behalf of the buyer and the delivery crew. This payment must be received in full before commencing any preparations and before capturing a crew or a tug. Payment to crews and/or service providers are being done in parts according the agreement made. A delayed payment may result in delays in the delivery, because the option on the tug or crew may have expired and therefore possibly not available any more.
Note :
Because it needs a lot of work to calculate a possible rate and we do not waste time as providers for voyage costs, we only make an offer after you have purchased the vessel. Therefore please do not contact us just to get an offer for a possible voyage, as we will not respond to this, due to the intensive time wasting procedure to form a crew and cost indication.
The historical backgrounds of the company SHIPTRADE
In the 18th and 19th century our port Meppel was an important gate between the north-east part of the Netherlands and the main seaports in Holland by the North Sea and earlier direct connected to the IJsselmeer, formerly named Zuiderzee. Because of land gaining a bit further from sea now but well accesable for up to 4000 dwt coasters. Meppel and surrounding area still has many shipyards for repairs & new buildings. And vessels are being delivered worldwide.
DSM Drentsche Stoomboot Maatschappij ("Drentsche Steamship Company")
Founded in 1800 and stopped shipping activities just before WW II, when steamships were no longer in need.
DSM Shipbrokers is the trading name of Shiptrade.
Today in the 21st century, DSM shipbrokers is fully equiped with the latest communication technologies and connected to most important databases and networks to enable quick and smooth transactions for and with our worldwide relations and businessfriends. We are widely recognised and renown as modern, unusual and fast actors.
Although we are a very modern company nowadays, some things are still done as in the past.
Our relations; we consider them as our friends with whom we do it all. This may sound old fashioned, but we are proud that we are able to do it this way and we will keep it that way for the next decades.
Ships for sale
Shiptrade is our sole activity, so we sell and buy deepsea vessels only.
Our long lasting relationships with many shipowners through the world is the base of our existance.
Because shipping is a global activity, we are available 24/7 when needed, giving our relations the chance to buy or sell their vessel through us in all markets. Besides the specific sale and purchase experiences we also have the juridical knowledge (inhouse) to assist our relations in good and in bad moments. Selling ships or the purchase of a vessel may often be a matter of confidence. Confidentiality is in our genes and is our habit.
This combination together with our drive, skills and motivation, ensures our relations are assured of a perhaps unusual but reliable and succesfull partner.
This is what counts in shipping and in human relations.
Please feel free to contact us, if you want to know more or want to be part our network.
We work for and on behalf of direct owners of dry cargo & container ships, heavy lift vessels, bulk carriers, tankers and bunker vessels, RoRo, RoLo and ropax vessels, deepsea tugs and offshore vessels as AHT, OSV, PSV, barges and pontoons.
An important part of our old existing network consists of many bulk stevedores spread all over the world and therefore we handle their floating transhipment units and bulk handling cranes as well.
