When Slaapschepen in the Netherlands, needed a flexible accommodation solution, they discovered Bibby Marine’s floating barges through their professional network. This marked the beginning of a successful partnership, with Bibby Marine providing both the vessels and the expertise to adapt and operate them to the project’s specific needs.
Following an extensive refurbishment of the onboard facilities, Progress and Renaissance have been on hire in Zaandam since 2024, providing flexible, comfortable and affordable accommodation. To date, Slaapschepen has highlighted Bibby Marine’s open-minded and friendly approach, as well as the professionalism of both onshore and offshore teams.
Rob Mus, Slaapschepen General Manager said: “We chose to work with Bibby because of the people.
“From the very beginning — sales, contracting, right through to delivery and operation — everyone was open, transparent, and genuinely committed to making our project a success.
“They didn’t just support us; they helped us support our own customer. It’s that people-first approach that made all the difference.”
The project continues to be delivered with strong cooperation and mutual respect.
