TOS, an international supplier of nautical and technical personnel, acquired Maritime Human Resources BV. TOS acquired all MHR shares as of Friday.  

MHR provides senior secondary vocational students with training programs including offshore, hydraulic engineering/dredging, ports, shipping, logistics, ship and yacht construction and Rhine and inland navigation. 

Previously, MHR was partially owned by the STC-Group, a vertical education and knowledge institute for shipping, transport and port industry. 

With the acquisition, TOS expects the acquisition to further its growth in the port and logistics sector and to reinforce its services in the maritime training segment.  

 “Our current clients find their way to us for our HR services: flexible and cost-efficient personnel solutions,” said TOS Managing Director Kees Wagenaar. “In addition to the placement of professionals, we can now extend our services to also include placement of trainees in companies with certified internship programmes in the port and logistics sector, as well as in inland shipping.” 

MHR’s Rotterdam location will remain operational in the coming months but eventually join the TOS head office in Rotterdam.
