After completing his study at the Maritime Institute, Joost de Waal sailed for several years as Chief Mate and Captain on various merchant marine vessels. After his sailing period he started his onshore carrier as ship agent and shipbroker taking care of various liner services and tramp vessels. His ‘hands on’ mentality made him an all-round expert in fields of customs regulations, stowage and securing various cargoes, dangerous goods, project cargoes and supply-chain management.
In 2007 he started Azimuth Marine B.V. as a service providing company offering multimodal solutions and port agencies to a variety of shippers, charterers and ship-owners. Rowing against the stream during the crisis years 2009 / 2011 he managed to make Azimuth Marine B.V. a reliable and leading name in port services, project management and offshore support.
