Good Day from Aad Motz ( on site as: Aadje - nickname given by my much more younger junior agents ).
Internet is endless, same as shipping.
I happen to pass by on this forum and noted with pleasure a lot of photograps of old and (most of them ) no more excisting vessels.
I have introduced shipsnostalgia.com to our dutch forum www.groningerkustvaart.nl, which is a busy forum.
Just for your information I sailed on:
1961 - 1963 s.s. Nieuw Amsterdam (Holland America Lines ),
1963-1964 - could not avoid my millitary service which compulsory in holland,
1964-1968 - ms Ipswich Pioneer - Flx/Ipswich - Hbg/Brm v.v.
I worked for:
3/1968 started as ships agent Kahn Shipping ( Jumbo Geneva ) same as Borchard + Khan, Fairplay ( Deep Sea Towage ).
9/1970 Changed ageny to the port of Terneuzen Messrs. Ovet, good contacts with Polish Steam Ship Company Szczecin and also with the russian river fleet.
9/1974 Changed agency to Dammers en van der Heide Rotterdam,
12/1989 sold to Seatrade Groningen - name Dammers Agency remained.
12/1994 sold to Hudig + Veder - name Dammers Agency remained,
5/1996 sold to Trimarene ( Investors ) Group Rotterdam- a backoffice representing: Dammers Agency, Hudig + Veder Agency, Eurovracht/OPDR agency, Seatrade Agency, NOL-APL agency, Cornelder Agency.
10/1999 Trimarene Group sold to Royal Burger Group Rotterdam becoming new colleagues with Messrs. Burger, Vinke, Ruys, Oil Shipping, Muller & Co., Van Ommeren. A bucket with agents.
5/2003 - accepted 7 years paid leave due to re-organisation.
In the Dammers van der Heide / Hudig & Pieters time I had the pleasure being agent for:
Black Star Lines, Pakistan Shipping Lines which later became Pakistan National Shipping Corporation, Ellerman City Liner
(Mediteranian Service ), Prince Line ( General cargo to the Med.), Svedel Lines, Rickmers Lines, Townsend Thoresen/P&O Ferries Dover and Felixstowe, Ivaran Lines, Oceaneering Houston and several more companies.
World wide contacts with Owners, Ships and Shippers, which now very much missing.
I appologize in advance for any mistake when writing in english. Mistakes are not on purpose whatshowever.
b/regards and pleased to hear.
