Are you ready for an offshore internship you’ll never forget on one of our crane vessels or tugs, starting this January/February 2027? At Heerema Marine Contractors, we operate the world’s largest crane vessels and work on complex offshore projects worldwide, from installing wind turbines to removing offshore platforms and lifting structures of up to 50,000 tons. Our work is challenging, innovative, and impactful. As an intern, you will become part of the crew and gain real hands‑on offshore experience. Each year we offer nautical, technical, and combined internships on board our crane vessels and tugs. For students following the Ship Electronics (ETO) minor, we also offer dedicated technical internships. An internship at Heerema gives you valuable practical experience, professional guidance, and a strong foundation for your maritime career.
