global presence through our local offices
With the opening of the new office in the city of Rijeka, TOS has again widened its horizon in Europe. The office, located at Prolaz Marije Krucifiske Kozulic 4, will enable the company to further establish itself in providing professionals for offshore & maritime recruitment and crew management. Ivan Wagenaar, Commercial Director at TOS, says that “We’re proud that our company is growing at such a rate. We strive to have a global presence through our local offices. This allows us to live up to our personal approach and focus on key markets. Croatia has proven to be a strong European shipping nation. TOS started in Rotterdam 30 years ago and since 2005, we have also had offices in the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine and Indonesia. From our branch offices, we can offer clients a flexible and cost-efficient solution for their personnel needs in these areas. We are proud of our latest expansion in Croatia!”

MARITIME & OFFSHORE MARKET IN CROATIA
In recent years, the number of Croatian seafarers and offshore crews has increased enormously. Both TOS and our customers are very satisfied with the quality, mentality and work ethic of our Croatian crew. A local presence was necessary to live up to our core value of ‘We make it personal’. With the appointment of our new branch manager, Hrvoje Vincetic, TOS was able to establish itself with a flying start in Croatia. “I met Tanguy Wagenaar, Business Manager Offshore, and Mario Palada, Recruiter at TOS, at a Career Day at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Rijeka in June,” says Hrvoje. “I was in full agreement with TOS’s focus on people and its personal approach. Setting up a new office also presented me the desired challenge in my career. After a period of bureaucracy, formalities, looking for an office, and making other arrangements, we are now working to provide crew for our loyal customers and to get to know the Croatian crews who already work for TOS. Mario Palada has done a great job recruiting and maintaining contact with our crew over the past few years, and with the input of Antonija Krstičević and Nataša Miculinić, it will be taken to the next level. We all know the maritime sector through previous experience or family members’ jobs and we are now a proud part of the TOS family.”
