We look forward to working with him. And at the same time we welcome Mr. de Vries as a Director, we say goodbye to Mr. James Hill who has contributed a great deal to the strategic direction Oceanteam has taken and the course it has kept under very severe market circumstances during the past years. We owe him a lot in this respect."
