A proud moment for DE Klop—and another milestone on the road to the Maritime Awards Gala!
On 9 October, we welcomed Koos Zitman, Chair of the Ship of the Year jury, and Cor van de Harst, Treasurer of KNVTS, for the official presentation of the nomination certificate and jury citation.
Koos presented the certificate to DE Klop, represented by Marcel Boor, Meindert Zwanenburg and André Kik.
This nomination recognises the craftsmanship, commitment and teamwork of everyone who helped bring Rotterdam 26 to life. A tremendous achievement for the entire team!
The certificate now takes pride of place in DE Klop’s entrance hall—a recognition we are delighted to share with everyone who visits.
Next stop: 15 October, when Rotterdam 26 and her nomination will be the subject of a presentation at a KNVTS gathering.
Thank you to KNVTS for marking this occasion with us.
The countdown to the Maritime Awards Gala is on—and we can’t wait!
