Trade organisation Maritime & Offhore NL is a close-knit network of Dutch shipyards, suppliers and service providers who work together in all locations and conditions. In the field of maritime technology, these companies – large and small – aim to lead the way in the quest for new challenges and solutions.
Maritime & Offhore NL connects, represents and strengthens the maritime and offshore manufacturing industry of the Netherlands. Members’ interests are best served from a strong, strategic sector. Maritime & Offhore NL provides shipbuilders, maritime suppliers and service providers with an inspiring network, in which mutual contact and knowledge development are important returns. The network is supported with a sophisticated program of matchmaking, seminars, trainings and publications.
With numerous international trade fairs, trade missions, strategic PR, and innovation projects, Maritime & Offhore NL helps its members create and exploit economic opportunities. Dutch maritime branding in optima forma. To build international competitiveness, innovation is key. Besides sector-specific themes and market intelligence, Maritime & Offhore NL also – and in cooperation with other maritime organisations – focuses on complex challenges such as digitalisation, energy transition, circularity and the influx of sufficient professionals.
What is the role of Maritime & Offhore NL in the project?
The main goal of Maritime & Offhore NL in this project is to involve all parties: shipyards, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Maritime & Offhore NL is responsible for the communication, dissemination and development of trainings and workshops within the program. Stakeholders are approached who we believe would benefit from integrating CirclesOfLife into their vision and operations. It’s important that all chain parties are involved throughout the entire lifecycle of a ship, because the goal is for all parties in the chain to use the Ship Lifecycle Passport (SLP) and the Shipyard Environmental Performance Index (SEPI). Ultimately, all the materials and components must be mapped out throughout the entire process from design to dismantling. This makes recycling much easier and brings circular construction closer.
