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 3,000 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 and services; dry-cargo vessels; container vessels; product tankers; high-heat tankers; car carriers and vessel-management services.
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.
