De Bree Shipping (hereafter referred to as DBS) was formed in 1986 by its founder and present Managing Director, Ron E. de Bree, who controls 100% of the company's equity.

The company is proud of its financial strength which has been built on the basis of prudent financial management through steadily planned organic growth in niche markets. The development of DBS is entirely financed from its own resources. This, combined with our commitment to our mission statement of quality and service, is the bedrock of its existence which is illustrated by the growing client portfolio of "blue-chip" companies in specific areas.
