The story begins in 1979

‘Het Veer’ has an idyllic background story. On the banks of the river ‘Leie’, the family Vandoorne looked in bygones days, after a ferryboat (het veer in Dutch). The ferry brought people safely from one bank to the other. For years, through wind and rain, the ferry was a bridge, a harbour, a grip. The ferry was a reliable connection. And this is it still to this day.

Sailing on Blue Oceans

Sailing on Blue Oceans: the idea has always been the driving force behind the group Het Veer. Our guide line is the blue ocean: to create a virgin place where each of our companies can freely sail the waters. Where the water, has not been clouded by bitter competition. A free navigable place. It is opting for innovation, sail the own niche and on this way create new opportunities.

Our administrators have their say:

Since 1995, in particular, we have grown expansively. This is primarily due to the strategic decision to act as much as possible independently from multinationals
