Hoofddorp, 2 October 2012 – On 1 October 2012 Atlas Services Group Marine Holding B.V. has agreed with SwetsODV to sell the business and all assets of Atlas Services Group (ASG) Nautische Objecten B.V.
SwetsODV has many years of experience in providing personnel for inland waterway transport, shipping guidance, nautical management, control of bridges and lockers. “This acquisition matches perfectly with the services packages we already provide. By adding these activities to our company, we can serve our clients even better and are able to further invest in training and education” explains Jan de Vries, Director of SwetsODV.

Therefore, I expect that this acquisition will offer many advantages, both for our employees (ca 40 Fte) as well as the clients”, explains Marcel Burghouwt.
