About Us
We specialise in the design of high-performance boats, ships and yachts, as well as many other advanced, special‑purpose marine vessels.
Thanks to decades of experience in naval architecture, hydrodynamics and marine consultancy, you can rest assured that the design of your vessel, or improvement of your existing vessel’s performance, is in expert hands.
Our management
Perry van Oossanen joined his father in 2001 after graduating from university in Maritime Technology. In 2002, Niels Moerke joined the company as a student and worked his way up through the ranks while studying Naval Architecture and then Hydrodynamics.
Together, Perry and Niels took over the helm of the company in 2012.
As a naval architect specialising in high-end motor yachts and ships, Perry was instrumental in developing the revolutionary, patented Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF).
Niels focuses on Van Oossanen’s in-house research & development, as well as the application of state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to the design and naval architecture of smaller vessels.

Our memberships
Both Perry van Oossanen and Niels Moerke are members of the Netherlands Society of Yacht Designers and Naval Architects (NBJA). Niels also serves as the society’s chairperson – following in the footsteps of our founder, Piet van Oossanen. Several of our staff are also associate members.
What’s more, we conduct all our work in accordance with the NBJA’s terms & conditions.
To share our expertise in the maritime industry and to support the cause for greater sustainability in the yachting industry, we’ve become a proud partner of the Water Revolution Foundation.
We are proud to be part of the MENENS consortium, working towards a sustainable future for the Dutch maritime industry through methanol-powered shipping.
Our Internships
We’ve been studying and researching virtually every aspect of vessel performance for over forty years now. In that time, we’ve accumulated a wealth of expertise relating to hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and naval architecture – knowledge we gladly share with eager young graduate engineers, like you, as part of your professional development.
Van Oossanen has two permanent internships – one in the field of Naval Architecture, the other in Fluid Dynamics.
What’s more, we spend over 20% of our time and resources on in-house research & development projects. Interns and graduate students play a key role on many of our teams.
OUR VACANCIES AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT PATHS
Besides our Academy and Internships, we have career paths for talented hydrodynamicist, marine engineers, naval architects and project leads. We have a job opening for a Structural Engineer and a Project Lead. Check the profile for more information.
