Rienk started his career as Naval Architect at a large salvage company, being involved in large number of complex and high profile projects. After 8 years and looking for a change he spend a few years in the yacht building as well as the survey industry working in a variety of roles. During those “office jobs” he started to miss the salvage industry more and more, whereas he decided to return in 2021.
When not at work he’s out on the water sailing, attempting some wall climbing, running, moutainbiking and during the winter you can find him on the ice ring or on a snowy mountain. When the weather is not favourable he might show up as “a very unproffesional DJ without any fans” in an empty living room.

Willem is a man who approach his work from an operational and executional perspective. Please don’t make things more complicated than they already are. Let’s see how you are planning to execute your work and discuss if that’s safe instead of prescribing what our teams must do with a lot of paperwork. Safe working is something you practice and who better to practice this then the craftsman him/her-self. Willem believes it is important to understand the work floor and the task at hand. In his spare time, you can find Willem in his own workshop, he likes to make his hands dirty welding and building stuff. Willem is a busy and happy man with a young family.

In his free time he enjoys racing sailboats, hiking isolated trails and collecting wines that need at least 10+ years aging before even being considered enjoyable.

Amaline is a Quality & improvement professional with over 15 years of relevant experience in the field. One of her goals as a professional is to help raise awareness and translate (ISO) requirements into practical, no non-sense solutions that will serve the organization, work for the organization and not against it. She believes in the power of simplicity, she would say.
In her free time, she takes care of her two boys, her dog, her canary (found in the street) and her plants; amongst other (too many) hobbies. She also has a passion for yoga, which she also practices in her, by now, really scarce free time.
Immediate response of BlueTack salvage teams either remote or on-site, ensuring the client has the incident management partner on speed dial.
