Testimonials 

Tom, a ship owner, has collaborated with Slaapschappen since 2021, and shares his journey: 

“After being in the retail business with ships and boats as a focus for many years, I bought a riverboat with my family. Then the question arose: what are we going to do with it? Circumstances made it difficult to find a permanent mooring. Fortunately, we then with Sleeping Ships. They recognized our ship's potential and saw an opportunity to use our ship to provide accommodation for refugees for the COA in The Netherlands. Our ship now has a secured mooring, a hospitality crew, and reliable security. It's a relief knowing my ship is in good hands, allowing me the freedom to pursue other interests with the assurance that my ship is not just maintained, but thriving.”
