History
Dockwise was formed in September 1993 by the merger of two complementary companies, Wijsmuller Transport (a division of Heerema) and Dock Express Shipping (a division of Royal Vopak), becoming the world's largest seagoing heavy transport shipping company.[1] The combined company operated from a new headquarters in Meer (Hoogstraten), Belgium. Wijsmuller brought a fleet of seven semi-submersible vessels (Super Servant 3, 4, 5 & 6 and Mighty Servant 1, 2 & 3) and four dock-type vessels (Dock Express 10, 11, 12 & 20).[1]
