Berk Marine B.V. was
established by Bob van der Kraats in January 2011. It's aim is to provide
vessel operators with ready access to best practice experience and expertise in

Our goal is to arm you

setting up, developing and operating a maritime company. By streamlining your
operations, leveraging tax opportunities and introducing appropriate business
efficiencies, we can help you negotiate around the red tape, restrictions and
responsibilities that have long term implications for your bottom line.
