Maritime Professionals announces a strategic shift with the launch of an innovative service tailored for freelancers in shipbuilding. This strategic move responds to shifts in market dynamics and the increasing number of professionals opting for independent work.
In response to the rising trend of freelancers, Maritime Professionals unveils the new platform 'Maritime Freelancers' to connect independent professionals in shipbuilding with clients. Whether a carpenter or an architect, the platform offers advantages for both freelancers and clients. Jelle Grijpstra, CEO of the MP Group, explains: "We observe a shift in the market towards an increasing number of freelancers. We are now consciously choosing to respond to this trend. With our new service, we aim not only to match but also to facilitate this form of collaboration for everyone.
Benefits for Independent Shipbuilding Professionals
- Fast and Reliable Payments: Maritime Freelancers ensures that independent shipbuilding professionals receive their well-deserved compensation within just 5 days after submitting their invoice.
- Direct Access to the Right Clients and Unique Projects: By participating in Maritime Freelancers, independents discover a wealth of maritime projects, ranging from commercial workboats to superyachts and offshore and dredging vessels. The Maritime Freelancers team connects freelancers with projects that align with their specific expertise.
- Personal Support: In addition to project opportunities, Maritime Freelancers offers tailor-made supplementary services. Whether it's assistance with billing and payment processing, legal advice on maritime contracts, training to enhance skills, support with relocation, or insurance coverage, this support enables freelancers to focus on their core activities.
"This new service not only benefits maritime freelancers but also provides significant advantages for shipyards, naval architecture companies, and engineering firms," emphasizes Grijpstra. "As a shipyard or maritime company, you gain direct access to a pool of high-quality maritime professionals. Whether you need experienced ship engineers, naval architects, or skilled project managers, Maritime Freelancers efficiently connects you with the right talent."
"The platform contributes to reducing overhead costs associated with hiring freelance personnel. It offers flexibility in hiring freelancers as needed, without the long-term commitments of permanent staff. By leveraging the services of maritime freelancers, clients can streamline their operations and complete projects more efficiently," adds Grijpstra.
The change in direction does not signify an end to the current staffing activities but can be seen as an additional route to navigate the maritime sector, allowing independent shipbuilding professionals and clients to thrive in an ever-changing business environment.
