Summer event & upcomming events
The end of the first semester of the Rotterdam Maritime Services Community was marked by the summer event and the first general meeting of members that took place on July 1st. The event was very succesfull thanks to the real summer weather conditions and the high attendance of members and partners. During the boattrip through the Port of Rotterdam, our guest speaker (Leendert Bikker) informed us on the inspiring plans and ambitions related to the World Expo 2025.
After the summer there are more major events coming up:
SAIL Amsterdam 2015
Friday August 21st all RMSC members are invited by Daamen & Van Sluis for a boat trip at SAIL Amsterdam 2015. If you are not on holiday, this event is a ‘must visit’, as SAIL is a very special occasion which takes place only once in every five years. The official invitation on behalf of Daamen & Van Sluis is distributed among the members.
