It's time to meet withWillem Keesom, Captain at Van Wijngaarden Marine Services. We planned to have this conversion when he was onboard the Lingestroom, but due to bad weather we missed an opportunity to sit down. So we call him while he is on leave.

Willem started his career at 17, sailing seagoing tugs for towage operations and anchor handling. He climbed the ranks to become captain at the age of 23. Twenty years in his career, he recently joined Van Wijngaarden Marine Services.

Van Wijngaarden Marine Services offers towing services, transport, anchor handling and survey activities. They have a fleet of 16 ships for deep-sea, coastal and inland waters. They assist worldwide at dredging and a variety of offshore projects. In addition to that they execute towing trips. They support with the construction and maintenance of offshore and renewables projects, like windfarms at sea. Other services are geotechnical activities and seabed levelling in harbours and fairways.

Enough to talk about and plenty takeaways from this session. Please enjoy!
