About Northern Marine
Marine Diesel Oil runs in our veins
Our history in the shipping industry goes all the way back to the 19th century, when our family was the largest private ship-builder and shipping company in the Netherlands (based on the number of ships). Over the years, almost the entire family ended up working in ship-building.
In 2002, Jan Hooites took over Engine Service Holland BV and kept doing what he excelled at: servicing diesel ship’s engines from all major manufacturers. His babies have always been the Brons and Crepelle engines, though.
Over the years, we – Niels and Björn – caught the diesel engine ‘bug’ and we helped grow the company through our vision and combined forces. Then the crisis came along and the shipping industry collapsed completely, which affected Engine Service Holland significantly. The decision was taken to shut up shop at the low point in 2017.
Even though ESH no longer existed, our long-term clients kept coming to us for maintenance. After much thought and consideration, we decided to keep helping the people who rely on our expertise, which is how Northern Marine came about. We are doing our best to keep the Hooites name alive, but the most important thing of all is that we can keep helping our clients.
