Former floating dry dock in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Koningsdok was a composite floating dry dock in Amsterdam.
After regaining their independence in 1813, the Dutch build a new fleet of East Indiamen to trade with their far east colonies. In order to maintain these ships, four floating wooden drydocks were taken into use in Amsterdam from 1846 to 1857. The Suez Canal, which opened in 1869, made it economically feasible to use steamships in the trade to these colonies. In 1870, the Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland (SMN) was founded with an eye to this opportunity.
However, even the modest ocean liners of the early 1870s could not reach Amsterdam via the Noordhollandsch Kanaal. SMN had to use the outport of Nieuwediep in its first years. The construction of the North Sea Canal would change this. It was built from 1865 to 1876, and became suitable for ocean liners in October 1878.
The SMN then supported the foundation of the Amsterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (ADM) by becoming the majority shareholder in 1877.[2] ADM took its first floating dry dock, Koninginnedok into use in April 1879.
The other initiative to found a dry dock led to the foundation of the Nederlandsche Droogdok Maatschappij (NDM) on 13 February 1879. It was founded by Cornelis and Jan von Lindern, shipbuilders from Alblasserdam.[3]
The first initiative led to the establishment of the Nederlansche Maatschappij voor Scheepsbouw en Dokken (NMSD) by Messrs. von Lindern. The other initiative was supported by the SMN and
Ordering and construction

The tender for Koninginnedok
[edit]
By 1885, Koninginnedok was only one of the two dry docks of ADM, as in October 1884 ADM had acquired its competitor NMSD. ADM then renamed the acquired dry dock Koningsdok.
