Jan-Piet Baars director offshore, Vroon Group

摘要

Jan-Piet Baars leads a company that was winner of the 2017 Shipowner of the Year Award at the Annual OSJ Conference, Awards & Exhibition. It is also a business that has expanded into new markets and new regions in the last 12 months but has been hard hit by the new reality in the offshore market. Vroon Offshore Services received the OSJ award in recognition of its ability to re-role vessels and move into the offshore wind market, the walk-to-work market and related market segments and for its initiatives offshore East Africa. Mr Baars said teamwork and making sure that Vroon Offshore "contributed to the success of its clients" lay at the heart of what the company had achieved.
