Dutch tanker brokerage RVB lit up the sky over Kralingse Plas as it celebrated its 25th anniversary in style at The Boathouse in Rotterdam.

The cruise-themed party attracted about 300 people to the lakeside venue, with guests from shipping heavyweights including Glen­core, Stolt-Nielsen and Fairfield.

Managing director Henk Roskamp, one of three co-founders of RVB, says the party not only marked the company’s birthday but also provided an opportunity to unveil a new brand.
