BV Maatschappij Motorschip Kieldrecht (BV Mij ms Kieldrecht) was founded in 1983 by Phs. van Ommeren NV in Rotterdam as one of their many single ship companies each owning a seagoing bulk carrier.

All Van Ommeren ships carried the name of Dutch cities ending their name with “drecht”. As during the 20th century all “drecht” names in the Netherlands were taken, Van Ommeren looked for similar names in Belgium and came across the city of Kieldrecht.
