In early 2023, Clarksons Port Services completed the acquisition of DHSS, an offshore energy logistics provider with a longstanding and expansive network in the Netherlands. On January 1st, 2024, it was officially rebranded as Clarksons Port Services. This created an ideal opportunity for PES Wind to engage with Wim Schouwenaar, the managing director of the Dutch entity.
PES: To begin with Wim, thank you for joining us today. It’s been over a year since DHSS became Clarksons Port Services bv. How would you describe the journey so far for both you and the team? What key moments have shaped this transformation?
Wim Schouwenaar: Thank you for the invitation; it’s always a pleasure to discuss developments in offshore wind with PES Wind! Joining Clarksons in February 2023 felt like a warm welcome from day one. Not just for me, but for our whole Netherlands team. We’ve enjoyed a strong working relationship for over a decade, so transitioning to full-fledged colleagues felt like a natural next step.
