Expanding its footprint in the worldwide yacht market, Oceanco names Bas Swanink as Sales Manager at Oceanco

Oceanco is expanding its sales department. Bas Swanink has recently been named Sales Manager at Oceanco and will be working in tandem with Robert Tan. Swanink is no stranger to Oceanco; he has been with the company as a Project Manager for eight years, during which time he was a key figure in developing and engineering the industry’s first PYC-compliant yacht ever built, the 91.5-meter Equanimity. In the process, he and his team worked closely with Lloyds Register, Cayman Islands Shipping Registry and several yachting industry partners.

Prior to his tenure with Oceanco, Swanink was employed in the superyacht industry for nearly 10 years in various management positions: design, project management and after sales management. In the span of his career he has project managed and delivered eight custom superyachts from 50-meters to 92-meters in length. He has worked with clients from around the world, including the USA, Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia. In his new role he will continue to work closely with Clients, Representatives, Captains, Crew and Brokers.

Swanink, along with Tan, will be representing Oceanco at the major boat shows and yachting events beginning with the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show. Swanink has a degree in Shipbuilding Technology, is a veteran team player and is looking forward to expanding his role and the role of Oceanco in the international marketplace.
