Driven by innovation

Shipping transport has been a widely used means of transport for many centuries. The large quantities that can be transported at one time, the large distances that can be covered and the relatively low transport costs per product make this mode of transport very appealing.

Economic and ecological shipping

ForestWave Navigation is a progressive shipping company that combines environmental awareness and efficient entrepreneurship with exceptional performance. By working closely together with our staff and chain partners, we constantly succeed in providing our customers with superior quality. 

Characterised by strong performance

In collaboration with its partners, our organisation is responsible for the management of multipurpose vessels within the Shortsea segment. The ForestWave Navigation vessels are mainly deployed for the transport of high-quality products across inland seas. 

Constantly on the move

The sea is never calm, time does not stand still; ForestWaveNavigation is no exception to this. Our organisation is constantly looking for new opportunities and to respond to this together with its partners. Here you can find recent projects ForestWaveNavigation has been working on.

About Forestwave Navigation

ForestWaveNavigation

The Company

In collaboration with its partners, ForestWave Navigation provides shipping management and commercial management of a new genre.

Shipping management

Shipping management means that we are responsible for all aspects of operating a vessel. Our duties include, among other things, monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of the vessel, the technical management of the vessel, facility management, being responsible for a motivated crew of the vessel and troubleshooting.

Commercial management

Besides shipping management, together with our partners we are also responsible for the commercial management of vessels. This means that the organisation concludes cargo contracts and charter contracts with customers for the benefit of its own fleet and vessels of third parties.

'Unique Selling Point'

ForestWave Navigation distinguishes itself from other shipping companies through its innovative approach to the shipping industry market, with “sustainability’ and “customer-orientedness“ as its spearheads.  

The Entrepreneurs

ForestWave Navigation was founded in 2003 by Sam Gombra and Gerrit Diepeveen. The company developed two multipurpose vessels, which are currently used among others for serving the Scandinavian market. In 2006, Fred Diepeveen, Gerrit Diepeveen’s son, took over from his father. Both had been active within the shipping industry for many years prior to the formation of ForestWave Navigation. Using this experience, they work on structural improvement and innovation in the area of shipping management.

Mission

The mission of the all-round shipping company ForestWave Navigation is to be a progressive shipping business, which constantly provides its customers with top quality transport services through technological innovation and process innovation through which we optimize shareholder value.

Vision

ForestWave Navigation aims to grow into an all-round shipping company with a modern fleet, which is recognised within the global freight transport market as a supplier of reliable top quality. ForestWave Navigation will maintain its lead through early anticipation of developments within the environment and updated legislation. In short, we combine environmental savings with a sound return.
