Oceanco

Oceanco is a Dutch custom yacht builder. The company specializes in the construction of superyachts. Oceanco was founded in 1987 by Richard Hein. The initial production facility was located in Durban, South Africa, before shifting operations to the Netherlands. The company's headquarters and primary shipbuilding facilities are situated in Alblasserdam, South Holland, Netherlands.

Oceanco's construction philosophy centers on custom projects. They do not typically produce series yachts. The emphasis is on building yachts to individual client specifications. The shipyard frequently collaborates with external designers and naval architects. This approach allows for a wide range of aesthetic and functional outcomes across their fleet.

Over the years, Oceanco has delivered a number of notable large yachts. These vessels often feature advanced engineering and luxury outfitting. The company utilizes a range of materials, including steel for hulls and aluminum for superstructures, to meet classification and performance requirements. Their production process involves extensive design and engineering phases prior to construction.

In 2002, Oceanco was acquired by Mohammed Al Barwani. Under this ownership, the shipyard continued its focus on superyacht construction. The company's facilities in Alblasserdam include large construction halls, dry docks, and outfitting areas, supporting the simultaneous build of multiple large projects. Oceanco maintains a market position within the custom superyacht sector.
