For the worldwide magazine ‘The Sea’ (The Mission to Seafarers) I was honoured to write an article. In the article, I highlight the crossing that I made in September with my fellow working student Ytze de Vries from Den Helder to Willemstad with HNMLS Pelikaan. The purpose behind this? Making the maritime sector sustainable in a fun way. This is also called Oceans1 (from OceansX ); the project that aims to create CO2 reduction in the maritime sector through knowledge sharing and innovation. Read in the article how ideas emerged from the chief to the technical engineer, and many others! Read about the change the HNLMS Pelikaan went through. But above all, see the value, the fun and the energy of this beautiful movement! As the article closes nicely, I couldn't close this post better: 'I encourage all seafarers to spread the word and spread the energy’. #sustainable #environment #sustainability #climatechange #innovation
