Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij

The Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) (Dutch: Netherlands dock and shipbuilding company), was a shipbuilding and repair company based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, existing from 1946 to 1979.

The area of about 80 hectares has since 2013 been transformed into a modern city district as a distinct part of Amsterdam-Noord and is still under development.

[1] The partnership would soon be turned into the public company NDSM NV.

These would continue to exist and remained accountable for any loss,[2] but had no other relevance.

Customers of NDSM included Koninklijke Paketvaart-Maatschappij (KPM), Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij (KNSM), Royal Dutch Shell and the Royal Netherlands Navy.
