Independent by design

For owners who are used to working with their own people but need a trusted outside pair of eyes for a specific project, this is the register the work runs in.

Independent by design

PMC is one captain, direct. No broker, no agency layer, no staffing company. An owner who hires Barend hires him: his time, his judgement, his signature on the report at the end.

Consultancy

When an owner or yard needs an experienced pair of eyes on the ground rather than a captain in command, Barend steps in on their behalf. Decisions made where the work is, not over email from another time zone.

Client representative

Representing owners and shipyards on site throughout vessel construction, trials, and delivery.

Superintendent Roles

Independent oversight focused on quality, coordination, and project execution.
