Edwin Swets has been closely associated with the Maaskade Group since the early 1990s and has seen the organization grow and change over the years. With his many years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the maritime sector, he plays a central role within the company as fleet manager. In this position, he is involved on a daily basis in both the operational and human aspects of the fleet and forms an important link between ship, shore, and organization.

In addition, he supervises the staff and ensures that people, ships, and the organization work together optimally.


Edwin has seen Maaskade Group grow from a small organization to the level where the company is today.

That bond forms the basis for trust and a pleasant working atmosphere.

The development into an organization with multiple activities ensures flexibility, innovation, and broad customer support.
