Early this year, two mentor groups started at the Ampelmann company, each consisting of 4 or 5 candidates, preparing for the Chartership under the guidance of a KIVI mentor. Jan van der Tempel (CEO Ampelmann), himself a Chartered Engineer, is thus imparting his experience with and the benefits of this wonderful quality brand to his engineers. The kick-off of the chartership process at Ampelmann took place on 14 January last, and the groups will meet regularly thereafter. The candidates show great enthusiasm and motivation for the programme.

Ampelmann is the world's leading player when it comes to 'Walk to Work' solutions, meaning they provide safe and efficient ways for people to walk from a floating vessel to a fixed offshore location. In the rapidly changing energy market, they offer the best access systems and services for transporting both people and goods. This has improved the way people access offshore locations and set new standards for safety, efficiency and reliability.
