Composition of the Supervisory Board
After serving almost 11 years, Mr Van der Ven will step down from Van Oord N.V.’s Supervisory Board. We would like to thank him for his dedication and contribution to the company. Mr Sevinga has been appointed as a new member of the Supervisory Board for a four-year term. He is Chairman of the Management Board of MerweOord, the Van Oord family’s holding company, and has a background in financial services (Rabobank, Kempen & Co).
The composition of the Supervisory Board is now as follows: Mr Hoek (Chair), Ms Insinger, and Messrs Laurent Josi, Kretzers, Sevinga, Valkier, and Verheul. Mr Kretzers has been reappointed for another four-year term in 2022.
Annual Report 2022
The Annual Report provides an overview of the results achieved in 2022, and Van Oord’s strategy, sustainability programme, and operations. In the report, Van Oord looks back on one of the most turbulent years in the company’s 154-year history. We saw revenue growth in all our business units and a strong increase in the level of our activities in the Offshore Wind business unit in particular. We were able to successfully complete nearly 200 projects for our clients.
