'''Smit Internationale N.V.''' (or '''Smit International''') is a Dutch [[company (law)|company]] operating in the [[Sea|maritime]] sector. The company was founded in 1842 by [[Fop Smit]] as a towage company with only the 140 [[horsepower]] [[paddle steamer]] [[tugboat|tug]] ''Kinderdijk''.
Fop's sons, Jan and Leendert, continued the company under the name L. Smit & Co and expanded the fleet. In 1870, they began using tugs with propellers.
