(Houston,
Texas) SEA.O.G Offshore is proud to announce the appointment of Bart Kroes as
the company's Technical Director. In this role, Mr. Kroes will lead
and support the company's engineering team, organizing and structuring all engineering activities for allocated projects.
"We
are thrilled to have Bart as a part of our team," says James Clouse, CEO
of SEA.O.G. Offshore. "Not only does he have the technical expertise and
experience, but he shares our vision and passion for advancing the renewable
energy industry."
Mr. Kroes began his career at Heerema Marine Contractors, a
leading marine contractor in the international offshore oil & gas and
renewables industry. During his time there, Mr. Kroes worked on various
offshore transportation and installation projects, including installing three
of the biggest floating oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and running the
transportation scope for the biggest ultra-Deepwater subsea project offshore of
Angola.
Eventually, a growing passion for sustainability led Mr. Kroes
to PHYSEE, a company focused on transforming buildings into energy-neutral
ecosystems. While at the company, he successfully set up a new department
responsible for executing all client projects. His work directly contributed to
the company's growth and recognition as the most innovative small and
medium-sized enterprise of the Netherlands, awarded by the Dutch Chamber of
Commerce.
"For
me, it's important to solve problems with technical solutions that are both
economically viable and are contributing to the energy transition," says
Mr. Kroes. "Having a background in the offshore industry, I knew SEA.O.G
Offshore was the perfect place to realize this goal. I'm excited to be part of
a forward-thinking company that is focused on developing creative
solutions."

from the Netherlands, Mr. Kroes currently resides in Seattle with his wife and
6-month-old daughter, Nina. He is an avid outdoorsman outside of work and
enjoys skiing, snowboarding, biking, hiking, and rock-climbing.
