Free advice on inland shipping subsidies

Concordia Damen Shipbuilding is known for embracing new challenges. Whether it’s an LNG tanker, a state-of-the-art large pushboat optimized for shallow waters, an electric vessel, or a hydrogen-powered ship, Concordia designs and builds it! However, the entire project must be sound and realistic—we prefer to keep our feet firmly on the ground, standing right alongside the entrepreneur.

For some time now, I have been serving as a subsidy advisor at Concordia Damen. This means that for clients planning to build or convert a vessel here, I provide a free assessment to identify possible subsidies for newbuild or conversion projects. Typically, these involve green and sustainable innovations.

Should you decide to proceed with construction or conversion at Concordia, we will guide you throughout the entire subsidy application process as a complimentary service.

It pays off to have your newbuild plans assessed for subsidy potential. In some cases, subsidies can cover up to 60% of the investment in green innovations. We are actively seeking entrepreneurs (both maritime and inland shipping) interested in fully electric vessels or ships powered by hydrogen, methanol, or ammonia. Highly advanced solutions involving clean combustion engines are also at the top of our list.

Please feel free to contact the shipyard directly or get in touch with me personally. I’d be happy to call you back and discuss the subsidy possibilities onboard your vessel without any obligations. More is possible than you might think.
