Engineered for Performance. Built to Last.
HDPE Int. is a Dutch company specializing in the design and construction of modular HDPE catamarans, workboats, barges, and pontoons.
Our vessels are built in the Netherlands using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) — a material that is:
- ✅ Unsinkable — integrated buoyancy keeps the vessel afloat
- ✅ Corrosion-proof — no rust, no osmosis, no gelcoat
- ✅ Impact-resistant — absorbs shocks without cracking
- ✅ Low maintenance — virtually indestructible
Our modular designs can be shipped in parts and assembled anywhere in the world, making them the ideal solution for:
- 🌍 Global projects
- 🏝️ Remote locations
- 🚢 Mission-critical operations
