About

WE MAKE DESIGN BUILDABLE. M&A International provides senior site management for shipbuilding and offshore construction projects, from first steel to sea trials. We close the gap between what is drawn and what gets built. Yards, integrators, and owners bring us in when a project is complex, the schedule is tight, and the supervisor bench is thin. WHAT WE DO ON SITE • Site and project management for new-build vessels and offshore platforms • Technical management and supervision during construction, outfitting, and commissioning • Vessel mobilisation and on-site coaching for client teams • Steady on-site leadership and coaching for crews on long-running yard assignments WHERE WE WORK Home base Rotterdam (Greenport). Active in the Netherlands, with easy deployment to surrounding EU countries. Worldwide where the project calls for it, across shipbuilding, offshore wind, and the wider energy transition. WHO WE WORK WITH Yards, EPC contractors, offshore wind developers, owners, and operators who need experienced supervisors that speak both the drawing and the deck. If you have a build that needs to come together cleanly, let's talk. Alex de Jong, Co-Owner, [email protected]

      M&A International – Greenport Rotterdam Location setup & operational support hub Presently, I am leading the setup of M&A International’s new operational location at Greenport Rotterdam, strengthening our on-site support capabilities for offshore and shipbuilding clients. From this location, we support clients with: • Mobilisations and demobilisations • Production and execution support • International site management • Client and owner representation • Coordination between yards, contractors and suppliers The Greenport Rotterdam location acts as a hands-on support hub, combining faster mobilisation and tighter execution control with a one-stop-shop environment supported by several on-site specialist companies.
