Hans (J.J.) Krijger

- Expert Profile and Services Overview

The road is never wide enough, always looking to widen my path and horizon. I did in the past and continue to do. Not only in my job but also in my personal life, my family and friends and everything that we come across in life. 

Maritime Academy with an internship at Nedlloyd realized quick there is a large world outside Zeeuws Vlaanderen. Adventure was calling being  independent and compromising brought me to many locations and occasions. Came across all the Oceans and saw all the continents, many countries, ports, cities and yes airports. Working on board a ship is an akward environment for the people who have or had no exposure to it. You will have to get along with each other during working hours and after work. In  case of an emergency, like a fire or sinking ship you have to count on each other to safe lives, your own and that of others.  I was fortunate to be exposed in my 1st job ashore to a wealth of knowledge and various ship types. The experience i build  and knowledge i absorbed has been instrumental in the development of my professional career. Since 2004 submerged in the rules and regulations that are aimed to keep world wide shipping a safe, enviromental and the last decade a sustainable business. Not easy with ongoing changes in the rules and regulations. You got to be able to find "the right path" and definatly with the enviromental agenda there is little light on the path(s) to be choosen. "The right path" is depending on the ship type / age / trade and and so much more...........
