The Dutch Association
of Ship Suppliers

We promote our members’ interests by facilitating efficient ship supplying and services.

WHAT THE NVVS DOES

Efficient supplying and services

Efficient supplying and services: that is what our members do for the shipping industry. As a trade association, we aim to create the appropriate conditions for that. We serve as both a point of contact and a knowledge base for the sector.

To represent our sector well, we work closely with customs authorities, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, and parties concerned under laws and regulations.

This includes holding discussions with people’s representatives at national and EU level, which enables us to influence the development of new regulations.

To connect and strengthen organisations within the sector, we hold annual knowledge and network meetings. Together, we put Dutch seaports on the map, which is good for the Dutch shipping industry.
