Last month, TOS delivered five vessels in a single joint voyage for PSA, the leading global port group from Singapore. ‘Captain Chowdhury Faroque Hossein and Er Chor Meng welcomed us at the PSA office*. Together with the five TOS Captains and Chief Engineers, we met and discussed all outstanding actions that had to be arranged before the departure of all Summits,’ says Myron Dam, Superintendent at TOS.
‘Years ago, I delivered the Mahaa Jarraafu from Qidong, China to the Maldives. Last month, I had the opportunity to also deliver its sister ship* Mario Oliva Perez from Kinderdijk, the Netherlands to Havana, Cuba. Same vessel, new adventure!’ says TOS Ship Delivery Captain Piet Smit.
Last week, TOS hosted an event for the corporate network, Sociëteit Rotterdam Maritiem. A local club for companies that are in any way active as a maritime company (also known as ‘wet’ companies) in the Rotterdam Port Area. TOS has been a member of this network since the major renovation of the Waalhaven Oostzijde in 2013-2014. Rolf Kievits, Sales Manager Ship Delivery, has been TOS contact person within this network so far and Giuseppina Donnina, Business Manager Work2Learn & Logistics, has now been recommended because we think TOS Work2Learn & TOS Logistics, in particular, can benefit from this network.
´TOS calls. They offer me two ship delivery trips, so I can choose. Excellent. The first trip is from Peru via the Panama Canal to Bristol, United Kingdom. The second delivery begins in Dubai and has as its final destination Sydney, Australia. Even though I’ve never sailed the Panama Canal before, I choose for the trip Down Under.’ Captain Frans, Ship Delivery Captain at TOS shares his experiences.
De Race of the Classics is dit jaar gestart met 23 teams. Tijdens het zevendaagse zeilevenement varen studenten van universiteiten en hogescholen uit Nederland op klassieke zeilschepen. De teams zeilen van de Rotterdamse Veerhaven richting de kust van Engeland, om vervolgens te finishen in Amsterdam. De Race of the Classics Studenten-editie, ook wel ‘de Rees’ genoemd
De opkomst is hoog op deze zonnige zaterdag. Een groot aantal van onze Work2Learn studenten is, na een lange werkweek in de Rotterdamse haven, aangeschoven voor een eendaagse VCA cursus. We hebben speciaal voor onze MBO BBL studenten en enkele offshore resources een VCA cursus georganiseerd op het hoofdkantoor in de Waalhaven.
