Venturn’s Post

🛟 Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 🛟 Last week, 2 Venturn Young Professionals got the opportunity to bring the new Rescue Vessel of the KNRM station Hansweert from Hoek van Holland to Hansweert on a beautiful Thursday evening. 🌅 The 135-kilometer trip was sailed in 2 hours and 35 minutes (28 knots, 52 km/h on average). We bounced on the choppy North Sea, dodged cargo ships exiting the port of Vlissingen and navigated through the sandbanks of the Westerschelde. ⚓ It was fascinating to experience how the volunteers of the KNRM communicate and support each other to safely travel at such high speeds for long periods of time. It was a small insight into the complexity of saving people in distress in all sorts of weather conditions. 🚨 The fact that Joris van Diermen and Arthur K. could join the crew for this trip is a testament to the strong connection between Venturn and KNRM station Hansweert, and we would like to extend a massive thank you to the volunteers for this opportunity! 🙏 #RescueMission #MaritimeExperience #Teamwork #Adventure #ProfessionalDevelopment #Seafaring #Volunteering #Venturn #Youngprofessionals #VYP #traineeship

🚤 KNRM Family Day in Hansweert 🚤 Saturday, September 14, it was time again for the annual Venturn - KNRM Family Day at Rescue Station Hansweert, and what a fantastic day it was! Under a bright shining sun, Venturn employees invited their families to take a look behind the scenes at Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij (KNRM). One of the highlights of the day was undoubtedly the exciting rescue exercise on the water. During this demonstration, a man went overboard and family members, accompanied by the KNRM crew, were given the opportunity to get the drowning person on board themselves. A unique opportunity to experience how rescue work is done. Back inside the rescue station, visitors received a fascinating presentation of the work of KNRM, the rich history of Rescue Station Hansweert and some impressive national rescue operations.  The day ended in style with a nice BBQ. One of the KNRM crew members also turned out to be a grill master and treated everyone to a delicious meal of meat, fish and fresh salads.  All in all, it was a great day full of sun, action and good food. We are already looking forward to the next edition! ⚓  The Royal Dutch Rescue Society (KNRM) runs entirely on donations, and we are happy to do our part! Since 2008, we have set up a fund that supports KNRM Hansweert. We are proud to call ourselves donors of this heroic organization for 16 years now. Together we ensure that the rescue missions can continue! #KNRM #FamilyDay #RescueMission #Teamwork #Venturn #Hansweert #ReddingMaatschappij #SafetyAtSea #BBQ #SunshineAndAction #RoyalDutchRescueSociety #MaritimeSafety
