TOS (Transport & Offshore Services) has been awarded a three-year frame agreement as a preferred supplier for personnel with Van Oord, a leading contractor for dredging, marine engineering and offshore energy projects (oil, gas and wind). This agreement marks a milestone for TOS in its drive to build on its expertise and growth in the maritime & offshore crew business. The contract will be managed from its headquarters in Rotterdam and will involve ad-hoc and project-based assignments for offshore crew, maritime crew and construction crew. Wilko Kok, Manager Fleet Ship Management Department: ‘This process of engaging in long-term contracts with crew suppliers was driven by efficiency and quality; achieving more with fewer suppliers and choosing to work with the right suppliers. Based on what we’ve observed throughout the extensive tender process, we trust TOS will be able to live up to our expectations. We are looking forward to our cooperation.’

Calling your team together and getting straight to the point… that is how you arrive at viable solutions to achieve your goal: a reliable fast ferry service with a very well trained and motivated personnel
