Our expertise
Shipping & Aviation
Shipping and aviation are industries of essence in the Dutch Caribbean region. With our broad experience in this sector, we offer assistance and give advice on a variety of matters.
There is a growing need for transport thanks to for example tourism and the storage and transshipment for the oil industry. This brings both opportunities and challenges for the sector.
For this, but also for the favorable conditions for the seizure and execution of ships and the registration of aircrafts, both local and international parties find their way to the Dutch Caribbean transportation sector.
Our team can assist in the seizure and execution of ships as well as aircraft registrations. We also give advice on matters such as financing (aircraft and ship mortgages), registrations and liability for damages.

Acting as one team, we offer an integrated service throughout the Dutch Caribbean.
