Last Friday, Gea Oenema and Dion Blank visited Deltion College in Zwolle to introduce students of the Furniture Making program to the fascinating world of luxury yacht building.

They introduced students to the world of luxury yacht building and spoke about the impressive and fast (sailing) yachts constructed in the Netherlands, showcasing the craftsmanship and innovation that make the Netherlands a global leader in this industry. They also highlighted the exciting career opportunities available in the region within this unique sector.

At Xelvin Maritime & Offshore, we love being part of initiatives like this that inspire students to pursue careers in the industry! Who knows? Some of them might be shaping the future of this industry soon!

Xelvin Jacht & Scheepbouw ziet kansen in de sector en zet koers naar Xelvin Maritiem & Offshore: één partner, grenzeloze mogelijkheden

De maritieme en offshore sector staat voor een interessante transitie. Vergrijzing, technologische innovaties en een krappe arbeidsmarkt zorgen voor uitdagingen, maar vooral ook voor enorme kansen. Kansen die wij bij Xelvin met beide handen aangrijpen.

Al 14 jaar ondersteunen we bedrijven in de jacht- en scheepsbouw met als motivatie het behoudt en groei van technische specialisten voor deze internationaal gewaardeerde industrie. Deze drijfveer is vandaag de dag misschien nog wel actueler dan ooit. De markt verandert – en wij veranderen mee. Onze ambitie reikt verder. Daarom breiden wij onze dienstverlening uit naar de hele maritieme en offshore sector. Niet alleen in Nederland, maar wereldwijd.

Waarom deze stap?
De uitdagingen binnen de sector zijn helder:

• Schaarste aan technisch talent: de instroom blijft achter, terwijl de vraag groeit.
• Vergrijzing en internationalisering: ervaren vakmensen gaan met pensioen, en bedrijven kijken steeds vaker naar internationale talentpools.
• Technologische en duurzame transities: digitalisering en verduurzaming vragen om nieuwe skills en expertise.

Bij Xelvin zien we deze ontwikkelingen niet als obstakels, maar als een kans om bedrijven en professionals te verbinden. We helpen organisaties in de maritieme en offshore sector niet alleen aan vakmensen, maar aan de juiste specialisten die bijdragen aan groei en innovatie.

Een strategische partner voor de sector
Onze verbreding naar de volledige maritieme en offshore sector betekent niet alleen dat we bedrijven en professionals beter kunnen ondersteunen. Het stelt ons ook in staat om nieuwe samenwerkingen aan te gaan en onze dienstverlening internationaal verder uit te bouwen.
We zien enorme kansen om traditionele vakmanschap te verbinden met de veranderende marktomstandigheden. Door strategische partnerships en een wereldwijde blik kunnen we nog meer waarde toevoegen aan de sector. We zetten in op:

✔️ Nieuwe samenwerkingen met toonaangevende bedrijven in maritiem & offshore.
✔️ Internationale recruitment voor een duurzame en toekomstbestendige arbeidsmarkt.
✔️ Behouden van de persoonlijke aandacht en expertise die Xelvin kenmerkt.

De maritieme en offshore sector verdient een partner die vooruitkijkt. Een partner die begrijpt wat er speelt, die meedenkt en meebouwt. Wij zijn klaar voor de volgende stap.

Ben jij dat ook? Laten we samen de bestemming bepalen.
