Royal Van der Leun is excited to announce our collaboration with Baggerbedrijf De Boer (Dutch Dredging) and Royal IHC on the construction of the Lesse +, a 2,300m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD).
This vessel, an upgrade of the original Lesse delivered in 2019, is designed to meet the latest IMO Tier III - Euro Stage V environmental standards.
With our factory in Hai Phong, Vietnam, located just a stone’s throw from the construction site, we are well-positioned to deliver this project efficiently. Our deep-rooted experience in Vietnam and extensive knowledge of maritime engineering ensure that we can contribute significantly to the success of this advanced dredger.
In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.
That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.
Stores are constantly evolving: new concepts, updated interiors and smarter technologies. But who makes sure all those plans are actually carried out behind the scenes?
In 2025, Royal van der Leun is responsible for the maintenance and renovation of over 500,000 m² of retail space across the Netherlands. A task that goes far beyond simply pulling new cables.
From June 24 to 26, 2025, Royal Van der Leun will be present at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe at RAI Amsterdam. At this leading trade fair in the maritime sector, we will showcase our latest solutions in intelligent electrical systems and sustainable innovation.
