VOS safety performance recognised at UK Flag Forum event

We are proud to share that Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) has been recognised by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). At a recent UK Flag Forum event in London, Vroon CEO Martijn Schouten was presented with a Special Recognition Award for Vessel Safety Performance by Lord Simon Stevens, Chair of the UK MCA.

After receiving the Award, Martijn said "Receiving this safety award is recognition for years of focus and discipline. Around 50% of the Vroon fleet operates in the offshore sector, with the emphasis on emergency response and rescue. Vessel safety performance is, therefore, at the Company’s core, because our number-one priority is to ensure everybody returns home safe. Our high level of safety can instil vessel crews, their families and our customers with the confidence that our teams on board are working in a safe environment. This award sends out a very clear message, that safety is paramount, and I am very proud to see Vroon Offshore Services recognised in this field."

At Vroon, safety is a “way of being” and a mindset. We are committed to safe practices in all operations and everyday activities. With an industry-recognised behavioural-based training programme “Leaders in Safety”, safety is an integral part of our Company DNA.
