Blokland Group – a trusted partner for yacht builders with outstanding cooling and propulsion solutions
Blokland Group is a long-established partner for yacht builders seeking reliable, high-tech solutions. With roots dating back to 1962, the group combines decades of craftsmanship with modern engineering to support yachts up to 70 metres. By bringing multiple specialist disciplines together under one group, Blokland offers shipyards a dependable partner.
All solutions are engineered and produced in the Netherlands, ensuring consistent quality, short communication lines and full control over performance throughout the entire propulsion chain.
SUPPORTING YACHT BUILDERS WORLDWIDE
Blokland Group operates as a specialist maritime engineering group, supporting yacht builders throughout the design, construction and lifecycle of their vessels. The group works with shipyards and engineering partners to design and manufacture solutions for a wide variety of vessels and applications. Projects range from custom yachts to series-built vessels, always with a strong focus on quality and technical reliability.
A COORDINATED PROJECT APPROACH
Blokland Group carries out engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing within its own facilities in the Netherlands. By keeping these disciplines closely connected, the group maintains control over quality and technical execution, while ensuring efficient coordination throughout each project.
For shipyards, this means clear points of contact, predictable planning and a practical way of working. Instead of managing multiple suppliers, partners work with a single organisation that understands how different technical systems interact.
SPECIALIST COMPANIES WITHIN BLOKLAND GROUP
Blokland Group is organised as a group of specialised companies, each contributing clearly defined expertise within maritime engineering. Blokland Propulsion is responsible for propulsion engineering and production, covering shaft lines, propellers, couplings, bearings and rudder systems. Marine cooling for engines and auxiliary systems is addressed by Blokland Cooling, delivering solutions designed for dependable operation and low maintenance. Blokland Components supplies precision seals and propulsion-related components that contribute to the durability and dependable operation of marine drivetrain systems.
GreenSonic is responsible for ultrasonic anti-fouling technology that protects cooling circuits and reduces maintenance requirements. Current Motion provides electrically driven thrusters for a range of maritime vessels, while Arka delivers electric propulsion systems for builders of boats, tenders and commercial shipping.
Together, these companies form a technically aligned group, allowing Blokland to support yacht builders with a clear structure, consistent engineering standards and solutions designed for long-term reliability.
PROPELLING CHANGE WITH CURRENT MOTION
Current Motion develops and supplies electrically driven thrusters designed to improve manoeuvrability and control in demanding operating conditions.
