Quality and security
The Dutch Loodswezen B.V. and its marine pilots ensure that traffic in the shipping lanes runs smoothly and efficiently both to and from ports, whilst guaranteeing the safety and protection of the environment.
The Dutch Loodswezen B.V.’s task is to ensure quality and safety with regards to the office organisation and the transport carried out by their crew.
ERP-system
The office organisation continuously strives towards an improved quality. As a result, an ERP-system has been implemented in order to enable the maximum integration and the optimum use of a diverse range of electronic applications. They are also actively involved in acquiring an ISO certification.
Moreover, the employees of Loodswezen B.V. are highly motivated and are schooled and trained to produce excellent performances. For example, the department dealing with transportation, which includes the transfer of marine pilots to and from sea-going ships, is in a permanent state of development with regards to quality, and especially safety.
Moreover, Loodswezen has worked together with external nautical engineers to develop their own fleet. The development and improvement of their own equipment, such as the rescue ladders onboard the fast tender, as well as bringing them all up to date with current regulations, has also been a priority. And above all else, the continuous training of the crews to ensure the most efficient and safe use of this equipment, is of up most necessity.
The qualifications of marine pilots increase with experience. They are able to sail on vessels of all lengths after around ten years of on the job experience, depending on the stretch of water in the different regions. On top of this, they have to undergo continuous schooling for the duration of their career.
