Jeroen

Dear Sir / Madam, My name is Jeroen Remmerts, I am writing to express my interest in joining your team. I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Logistics, Transport Management, and Supply Chain Management, with minors in Maritime Logistics, Negotiation, Marketing, and International Economics. I began my career as a Customs Agent at Verex, responsible for road transport documentation and formalities. I then transitioned to container transport in the ARA region, which led me to discover my passion for shipping. This interest was further developed during my nearly seven years at Vopak Agencies Terneuzen, where I gained extensive nautical experience. I later returned to Vopak Agencies in Antwerp, before continuing with Wilhelmsen after their merger. Over the past ten years, I have gained in-depth knowledge of the ports of Vlissingen, Terneuzen, Zeebrugge, Ghent, and Antwerp. The past three years have been particularly enriched my knowledge and experience, as I've been working as a self-employed consultant for several companies. This role allows me to offer my services on a fee-for-hours basis, which has proven to be highly effective. It creates or simulates a "no cure, no pay" situation, ensuring continuous improvement and growth for my clients' profitability and your best intrest. I am now seeking an opportunity to further my career. I am very interested in a position as freelancer within your company. I believe my experience will be directly applicable to a variety roles. However, I am open to your guidance on which position you think would be the best fit for my skill set. With my diverse maritime, construction, team-building, communications experience and commercial background, I am eager to contribute to your company, creating value for your clients and expanding my own knowledge in the process. I am particularly interested in continuing my work as a self-employed contractor, but I am flexible and open to discuss other possibilities. I am accustomed to long working hours and am available to be reached during evenings and weekends, as I understand this is often part of the job. I am also happy to visit your office to discuss my application further. I am based in both Antwerp and Netherlands, so I have easy access to your Antwerp office. I look forward to hearing from you and hope my background aligns with your current needs. Best regards, Jeroen Remmerts
