Amver awards in Rotterdam

We were very excited to present Amver awards in Rotterdam for the first time in 37 years. Thirty one Dutch companies representing 165 ships received Amver awards in 2016. We were pleased to meet many of them at the ceremony held at the Europort event at Rotterdam Ahoy on Tuesday, November 7, 2017.

We would like to extend our special thanks to the Rotterdam Ahoy taff and the Royal Netherlands Shipowners Association for helping us present the awards. We would also like to thank U.S. Coast Guard Captain David Barata, Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Activities Europe, for helping present the awards and sharing his appreciation to Dutch ships for their dedication to safety at sea.

We look forward to working with the KVNR at future events and presenting even more Amver awards in 2018.

Thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated.
