Marinsal

Mission & Purpose

Arjan Herrebout founded Marinsal with one mission in mind, be the most reliable and independent provider of consultancy services in the marine industry.

And with over 30-years of experience and success, Arjan’s founding mission continues to provide a guiding light for all of Marinsal’s operations.

Still fully independent just like the day the company was founded, all of Marinsal’s clients are treated with respect, and work is done hands-on with the end goal always in mind.

No matter the project, no matter the size, and no matter the timeframe, working with Marinsal is both a pleasant and profitable experience.

Meet

Arjan

Beginning his seafaring career after graduating nautical college in 1989, Arjan joined Wijsmuller as both an engineer and deck officer.

It was precisely this hands-on experience that laid the foundation for what would later become Marinsal. Earning the rank of chief officer with a master’s license he transferred to the salvage department.

Working side-by-side with the commercial department, Arjan handled numerous issues for LOF arbitrations, learning a lot in the process.

Leaving in 2001 to join Rotterdam-based firm Raets P&I as a senior claims executive, Arjan used his experience to manage P&I and FDD claims for over five years. It was also at Raets that Arjan received his postgraduate diploma in Maritime law from the London Metropolitan University.

In 2006 Arjan decided to join the Mammoet group as one of their salvage division founders. Using all the hands-on knowledge from both working in the field and behind a desk, Arjan climbed the executive ladder and made the firm a global powerhouse in the salvage industry.

Later in early 2016, Arjan founded Marinsal and began work as an expert independent consultant. Since then he’s had the pleasure of working with many of the biggest firms in the maritime industry. Arjan is also frequently invited to speak at marine conferences, these include:

  • Informa plc – Salvage & Wreck removal seminars & conferences, London & Singapore
  • American Institute of Marine Underwriters, New York
  • International Union of Marine Insurers, Paris
  • The Insurance Institute of London, London
  • Dutch Maritime Industry, Rotterdam

In addition, Arjan has served as an expert witness in relation to salvage matters in various court proceedings in different jurisdictions.

Most of these matters deal with interpretation of circumstances in salvage cases under the International Salvage Convention 1989 criteria.

Arjan is registered in the Dutch register of experts to the court (LRGD).

“Success has many fathers

In line with Marinsal’s principles, individual successes will not be listed here (though they are numerous). Instead, our success comes from every team member present at every project.

Our work is done with one ancient quote in mind, ‘Success has many fathers.’ It’s through this group dynamic approach that we’re able to deliver success on a near-guaranteed basis.

We know we can’t achieve success alone, which is why we’re more than happy to recognize all the men and women that make it possible. Of course, if you would like any specific project references, we’d be more than happy to provide them to you!

Give us a call below and we look forward to speaking with you.
