History
Oceanco was founded in 1987 by investors from South Africa, who split production between two countries: the hull and superstructure were built in Durban, South Africa, while final outfitting took place in the Netherlands.
With the arrival of new owner, Greek businessman Theodore Angelopoulos, in 2002, the shipyard transitioned to building luxury megayachts over 80 meters and moved all production to the Netherlands. In 2019, Oceanco expanded its manufacturing capabilities by acquiring assets from the company Heerema.
