Tolkamer 28/03/2019 – Shipyard De Hoop is proud to announce a new order, this time from returning client ‘Köln-Düsseldorfer Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt GmbH’ (KD). The vessel is a newly designed entertainment/daypassenger ship for groups up to 1000 people and shall be built under yard number 493.

Following the successful performance of these vessels, the new concept is being further designed and detailed in close cooperation with yacht designer René van der Velden and engineering company Schiffstechnik Buchloh. The design shall have a special focus on the entertainment-operations (parties, events, etc.). Combining the experience of the two engineering teams (Buchloh/De Hoop) and a yacht designer, the aim is to build a stunning vessel, ready for many great events.
