Wijgaart Shipping, Anno 1988

1988, vor fast 30 Jahren, machten die Brüder van de Wijgaart ihre ersten Schritte in der Welt des Binnenfahrt-Unternehmertums. Was mit einem einzelnen Schiff begann, der Zembla, wuchs zu einer kompletten Rederei mit einem Dutzend Schiffe unter ihrer Flagge heran, geeignet für den Transport einer breiten Skala an Gütern.Wijgaart Shipping hält an diesem Kurs fest, indem sie auf die Bedürfnisse in der Binnenfahrt vorausblicken, sich weiterhin mit der Entwicklung beschäftigen und an den gleichen Kernwerten von Qualität festhalten.
