The Take-Out Master of the Nieuw Statendam

Captain John Scott took out Noordam but I think he recently retired.

John Scott is on vacation right now. He is assigned to the Eurodam. It was Pieter Bos who retired at the end of April

Heel veel dank Copper , for this updated list of Captains . Back on shore for a few months ?

Have a well deserved break . With three exiting cruises in our future I was wondering who was where .

Is that the full last name of the new Captain Friso ?

Bedankt/Thanks Tony! With a (multiple) surname like new Capt. Friso, I would think there is some nobility in his family from a while back

Thank you Copper,

Looking forward to sailing Ms. Westerdam again next month😀

Copper, do the Seattle based Captains need to sail periodically to maintain their credentials? I think the only one I have sailed with is Rik Krombeen on my first modern HAL cruise (Rotterdam TA in 2011)

Thanks

Roy

Currently we have Captain Friso Kramer Freher on the Zaandam, he just boarded when we did. I think he said that after South America, he will move to the Amsterdam.

He got us into Anchorage at what must have been low tide, so he's doing well!

Captain Douwes was at the helm of the Zaandam when I sailed on her soon after she entered service.

No doubt however, he's been in charge of scheduling itineraries and planning in Seattle for quite a while now

Enjoy Anchorage and Zaandam Ann! Capt. Friso was one of two long-time (six years plus) staff captains on Amsterdam prior to going to Volendam, still as staff captain

Since the start of this thread, every time I see it, I think there is a new restaurant- the “Takeout Master” - being introduced on NS.

:D:DLOL! Don't give the Seattle officials any ideas.

Have been told that the captain on the Nieuw Statendam will be Captain Sijbe de Boer

But whom?

 

Captain Albert in his Blog several days ago indicated that one of the original Masters of the Koningsdam was currently stationed at the simulator/training center for Officers in the Netherlands and the other gentleman was at the shipyard in Italy. I presume this gentleman will be the Nieuw Statendam's Master. But, who is this gentleman?

 

Captain de Vries was the take out Master of the Koningsdam. Will he join Captain Edward G. Van Zanne, as a present day HAL Master, who has had the "joy" of bringing a new ship "to life" for Holland America Line?

Yes, it now appears that Capt. Sijbe de Boer, until recently HAL's "Fleet Captain" (Corporate Marine Quality Assurance), has replaced Capt. Darin Bowland as Nieuw Statendam's take-out captain

I hope that "take-out Master" sounds better in Dutch than it does in English, or that is a poor translation, 'cause I too keep thinking of someone who creates gourmet meals from room service platters.

We call them "Plank Owners".

A few of the comments in these boards suggest that Mr. de Boer is not the most amicable of captains. Does anybody have any history with him?

I always thought "plank owner" was a Naval (as in military) term ;)

No, I've been a plank owner for 4 ships, one drillship, one cruise ship, and two tankers.

Copper, are you joining us on her?
