Vroon provides seagoing transportation services and engineering
& support solutions that are reliable, sustainable, cost
effective and enable its customers to be successful.
With headquarters located in Breda (the Netherlands), the
company employs about 2,500 professionals in offices around the
world and on board a diverse fleet of approximately 140 vessels.
Vroon is active - through various subsidiaries and under different
brand names - in the following business segments: livestock
carriers; offshore-support vessels; offshore maintenance and
engineering services; dry-cargo vessels; container vessels; product
tankers; high-heat tankers; car carriers and vessel-management

Founded in 1890, the company originally exported agricultural
products to England, France and Belgium while importing coal into
the Netherlands. However, after World War II the company recognised
the opportunities in transportation and changed its focus from
trading commodities to owning and managing vessels.
Vroon attaches great importance to its Vision and Mission, Core
Values and Culture which provide guidance to all staff at sea and
ashore. In 2015 the company joined the Maritime Anti-Corruption
Network (MACN). MACN is a global business network working
towards the vision of a maritime industry free of corruption that
enables fair trade to the benefit of society at large.
