For ship owners 

As the owner of a ship or fleet, it is a priority to be assured of income and a reliable mooring. Moreover is certain that the project and operational management on the ship is in expert hands of courseobviously desirable. At Sleepers we recognize the needs and responsibilities that come with managing maritime assets. Sleeper ships ensures a safe berth, return on rental and (long-term) contracts with certainty. 

Sleeping ships understands that risk management and the creditworthiness of the ship's tenants are of great importance. Our commitment to berth management, staffing and security goes hand in hand with high standards of legal compliance and class requirements.  

At Slaapschips we strive for a partnership with trust on both sides, where Slaapschips not only takes care of the operational aspects, but also ensures an environment in which ships are handled with knowledge and skill.  

Sleepers can rent the following ships:

Suitability of the ship   

Slaapschips is happy to look together at possibilities to rent the ship for (long-term) projects. Our project managers come on board and carry out a baseline measurement. If it turns out that we can use the ship for a project, we immediately start the process.  

What does Sleeping Ships do for ship owners?   

Sleeping ships completely relieves ship owners' worries. We take care of the interphase management with the customer, port and suppliers on location. Sleepers arranges the berth, ensuring a reliable berth. In addition, we take care of the operational aspects completely. Slaapschappen also thinks along about the administrative part. This makes weekly invoicing and payment possible. If owner, this gives you an extra market to use your ship without additional activities.

What does the ship owner arrange?  

The captain and/or owner of the ship is responsible for a small nautical crew, technical maintenance of the ship and keeping all relevant certificates valid.

How have others experienced this?   

Tom, ship owner, has been renting via Slaapschips since 2021.  
“After years of being in the shipping business, my family and I bought a river ship. After this the question arose: what are we going to do with it? Due to circumstances it proved difficult to find a permanent berth. Fortunately, we then came into contact with Sleepers who quickly saw an opportunity to use our ship for the COA. Our ship now has a permanent berth, a hospitality crew and good security. This means I don't have to worry, because my ship is well taken care of. In addition, I now have time to do other things and not be on board all the time.”
