In a recent interview on the Project Cargo Professionals podcast, Jumbo\u2019s CEO Peter de Bree shared his vision for the company\u2019s future, highlighting fleet expansion, offshore growth opportunities, and the unique combination of shipping and offshore installation capabilities that continues to set Jumbo apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having assumed the role of CEO in early 2025, Peter brings extensive experience from the offshore industry and a deep understanding of Jumbo\u2019s operations. He emphasised the strength of the company\u2019s people, entrepreneurial culture, and long-term outlook as key reasons for taking on the leadership role.<\/p>\n

A major milestone for Jumbo is the recent order of two new L-Class heavy lift vessels, scheduled for delivery in 2028 and 2029. Designed in-house with input from commercial teams, vessel crews, and operational specialists, the newbuilds are tailored to meet future market demands while significantly improving fuel efficiency and cargo capacity. The fleet expansion will increase Jumbo\u2019s fleet from eight to ten vessels, strengthening the company\u2019s position in the global project cargo market.<\/p>\n

Peter highlighted Jumbo\u2019s unique ability to combine transportation and offshore installation services within one organisation. This integrated approach has contributed to recent project successes in Argentina, where Jumbo will transport and install critical mooring and subsea infrastructure for major offshore energy developments. According to Peter, this combination of shipping and offshore expertise provides a distinct advantage for clients by reducing interfaces, streamlining logistics, and improving overall project efficiency.<\/p>\n

The Americas are becoming an increasingly important region for Jumbo. Through several recently awarded projects in Argentina and ongoing activities in Guyana, the company is supporting the development of new offshore energy hubs while applying its extensive experience in challenging and remote locations. Peter noted that Jumbo\u2019s strong track record and specialist expertise continue to create opportunities in niche markets where reliability, experience, and technical capabilities are critical.<\/p>\n

Sustainability remains a key focus for Jumbo. The new L-Class vessels will be delivered with dual-fuel, methanol-ready engines, enabling future adoption of alternative fuels as infrastructure and market demand develop. In addition, Jumbo continues to explore innovations to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency, including wind-assisted propulsion technologies, advanced routing systems, and data-driven fuel optimisation.<\/p>\n

As Jumbo prepares for the arrival of its new vessels, Peter\u2019s priorities are clear: deliver the L-Class program successfully, continue attracting talented maritime professionals, and further strengthen the company\u2019s position at the intersection of shipping and offshore operations.<\/p>\n
