Logistics service provider Maja Stuwadoors BV announced in mid-December 2026 that it is taking over the floating crane Navitas from entrepreneur Johan Speksnijder. With this transaction, Maja Stuwadoors strengthens its position in Amsterdam port logistics and further expands its range of service.
Maja had been looking for a new floating crane for some time in order to continue to provide flexible and reliable services in the future, core values of the company. During this search, Majaa came into contact with Johan Speksnijder, which resulted in the purchase of his PLM type 1227 crane.
The crane has been thoroughly updated very recently, including a new crane arm and a wider pontoon. PLM designs and builds custom cranes that function excellently. “We are therefore very pleased to be able to add such a crane to our fleet,” said a representative of Maja.
The integration of the Navitas into the activities of Maja Stuwadoors is expected to be completed in the first half of this year. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
With this move, Maja Stuwadoors underlines its ambition to play a prominent role in the logistics sector and to respond to the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable solutions.
