BMT announced Dennis de Bruin has been appointed Managing Director for BMT\u2019s Commercial Shipping Europe business, with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A BMT employee since 2004, de Bruin has more than 20 years of experience in the maritime industry. He has served for the last seven years as Marine Director for BMT’s nautical and cargo department of the Rotterdam office.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He will succeed Jeroen de Haas as Managing Director of our European offices in the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, who has been at the helm of Commercial Shipping Europe since 2001, and will continue his career outside of BMT.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are at an exciting juncture in our journey as we focus on growing our \u2018traditional player\u2019 markets and meeting new client demand for specialist advice in emergency response consultancy and distressed cargo risk assessment,\u201d de Bruin said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile continuing to be focused on our core, existing survey capabilities, we will grow BMT\u2019s global consultancy and technology portfolios to reach and diversify into adjacent markets. In addition we are exploring larger simulation and renewable energy projects in Singapore and Southeast Asia, and how to harness virtual reality training benefits with innovative products such as BMT\u2019s REMBRANDT ship simulator.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new path will undoubtedly inspire staff and customers alike, and I am relishing the prospect of building an even stronger and resilient business with the existing experienced professionals working in this global organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
