Vroon Shipping B.V.

Shareholders of Vroon Shipping B.V.

No shareholder of Vroon Shipping B.V. (KvK 21014940) is disclosed on this profile, and none could be identified from a publicly accessible official source. The data provider holds no shareholder rows at all: the stored field is the provider’s "no data held" response, whose own text explains that Dutch shareholder information is filed with the Chamber of Commerce and the UBO Register. That records what the provider holds; it is not a statement that the company has no shareholders. A Dutch B.V. always has at least one, and no ownership percentage has been assumed or inferred here.

Dutch disclosure is narrow by design. A B.V.’s shareholders’ register is kept by the company itself and is not public; the KvK register records the sole shareholder of a single-shareholder B.V., and that content is only available in a paid extract. The KvK public search returns no register data to an automated request, so nothing about the ownership of KvK 21014940 could be retrieved free of charge, including whether it is a single-shareholder company.

Two dated ownership facts are available for the wider Vroon business, but no filing ties either of them to KvK 21014940, and both are set out in the group-structure section rather than here.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

No ultimate beneficial owner of Vroon Shipping B.V. can be identified from a publicly accessible source, and no effective percentage has been calculated, because no part of an ownership chain for this entity is available.

The Dutch UBO register, kept by KvK, has been partly closed since the Court of Justice of the European Union gave judgment on 22 November 2022 in Joined Cases C-37/20 (Luxembourg Business Registers) and C-601/20 (Sovim), which held invalid the provision making beneficial-ownership information accessible to any member of the general public. KvK states that it is reopening access in stages: since the second quarter of 2026 authorised users can again order UBO extracts digitally using eHerkenning and a UBO API is available, but access is confined to competent authorities, institutions subject to the Dutch anti-money-laundering and sanctions legislation, and natural or legal persons with a demonstrated legitimate interest. It is not open to the general public.

Data availability

Shareholder and beneficial-ownership information for this company is Restricted: it exists in the Dutch commercial register and the UBO register, but it is not publicly accessible and the provider holds no rows for it. Nothing in this section should be read as evidence that the company has no shareholders or no beneficial owners.

Directors and officers of Vroon Shipping B.V.

One officer is stored for Vroon Shipping B.V. (KvK 21014940): H.F.M. Marks, role recorded as Director, marked active, country of address the Netherlands. The provider’s own counters give one page and one result, so this is the whole of what the provider holds rather than the first page of a longer list. No appointment date, no resignation date, no date of birth and no nationality are recorded, and the address lines are empty, so the record carries no information about when the appointment began or whether it is current.

That matters here, because the same initials and surname belong to a person whose Vroon appointments demonstrably ended in 2023. Herman Frans Mathilde Marks is recorded at UK Companies House as a former director of two Vroon group companies — Vroon Shipping U.K. Ltd. (05006748), appointed 6 January 2004 and resigned 22 May 2023, with his correspondence address given as Lage Mosten 17, 4822 NJ Breda, the same address as this company; and Vroon Offshore UK Limited (SC323539), appointed 15 June 2020 and resigned 22 May 2023. Vroon announced on 12 June 2023 that Herman Marks had stepped down as chief executive on completion of the group’s financial restructuring, after 22 years with the company. The UK register records his nationality as Dutch.

None of that is a filing about KvK 21014940, and it does not prove that the stored appointment has ended — a person can cease to be a group chief executive and remain a statutory director of an individual B.V. But the stored row carries no date of any kind, the person concerned left his UK Vroon directorships and the group chief executive role in 2023, and the Dutch register could not be read to settle the question. The stored officer data should be treated as of unknown age and verified from a KvK extract before it is relied on.

For completeness, and at group rather than entity level: Vroon’s published corporate information names Martijn Schouten as chief executive officer since 15 June 2023 and Alain de Blok as chief financial officer since October 2023. Neither is recorded as an officer of KvK 21014940 in any source consulted.

Recent officer changes

No officer change is recorded for KvK 21014940 itself, because no free official source publishes its officer filings.

Data availability

Officer information for this company is Restricted and partial. The Netherlands does publish company directors in the Business Register, but the KvK public search does not answer automated requests and the register extract that carries directors, their capacities and their dates is a paid product, so the stored row could not be checked against the register. Dutch register extracts do not record nationality for directors, and none is recorded on this profile — the Dutch nationality stated above comes from the UK register’s own nationality field for the same person’s UK appointments, not from a Dutch source. No date of birth is published here.

Group structure of Vroon Shipping B.V.

Vroon Shipping B.V. (KvK 21014940) is presented on this profile inside a corporate tree of eight entities, with this company at the third level and one entity attached below it. The tree is the data provider’s and is not a filing: it carries no ownership percentage on any edge, no effective or filing date, and no source. Nothing in it has been verified for this company, and no official source consulted places KvK 21014940 in the Vroon group at all — the group’s own website does not name it, and it holds no Legal Entity Identifier, so GLEIF records no parent relationship for it either.

What can be verified is the apex of the wider group. The audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 of two UK Vroon companies both name Vroon Holding B.V., a company registered in the Netherlands, as the ultimate holding company and the ultimate controlling party, and identify it as the only undertaking that consolidates them. That statement is inconsistent with the stored tree, which places a foundation, Stichting Administratiekantoor Vroon (NL 89946685), above Vroon Holding B.V. The stored tree also omits at least one intermediate Dutch holding company, Vroon Vessels Participations 1 B.V., which the UK filings name. Treat the stored tree as partial and possibly pre-dating the group’s 2023 restructuring.

A name warning: two unrelated Dutch companies are called Vroon Holding B.V. The one in the stored tree is KvK 70208514; the one holding LEI 724500XTCRPV187DYE47 is KvK 30140272 at Jutfaseweg 3E, Utrecht, and is a different company. Do not match on the name.

Verified corporate relationships

No relationship in this table is a filing about KvK 21014940. The one entity the stored tree attaches below Vroon Shipping B.V., Westerschelde Shipping B.V. (NL 22061058), is not corroborated by any source consulted, and no percentage is available for it.

Recent structural changes

• 12 June 2023 — change of control of the group. Vroon announced that its financial restructuring had completed and that majority ownership of Vroon had passed to its lenders, with the Vroon family retaining a small interest. The UK registers record the same date independently: at both Vroon Shipping U.K. Ltd. and Vroon Offshore UK Limited, Francesco Doroteo Vroon ceased on 12 June 2023 to be a person with significant control holding 75% or more of shares and of voting rights, and each company has since filed the statement that it has no registrable person or registrable relevant legal entity. This is a change recorded at UK group companies; no Dutch filing for KvK 21014940 was obtainable.
• 6 August 2024 — two Breda group companies dissolved. GLEIF records completed dissolution events with that effective date for VROON EXPRESS 4 B.V. (KvK 22061049) and VROON EXPRESS 5 B.V. (KvK 22061050), both at Lage Mosten 17, Breda. This is consistent with the group’s stated aim of simplifying its legal and organisational structure.
• 11 May 2026 — agreed disposal, not completed. Vroon Holding announced an agreement to sell its livestock activities, including 100% of the shares in Livestock Express Pte Ltd (Singapore, UEN 201202536Z), to the Australian group Heytesbury. Livestock Express Pte Ltd appears in the stored tree. No completion has been confirmed, so the announcement must not be read as a disposal that has taken effect.

Data availability

Corporate-linkage information for this company is Partial: the group’s ultimate parent is documented in UK statutory accounts, but the position of KvK 21014940 within the group is not verified by any publicly accessible source, no ownership percentage is available at any level, and the Dutch register content that would settle the chain is behind a paid extract. The stored tree of eight entities is materially smaller than the group evidenced by the filings, so it should not be read as complete or as evidence that the company has no other parent or subsidiaries.
