What Lowland International does

Lowland International, formally Lowland International group N.V., is a Netherlands-domiciled shipping and offshore services company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Nieuw-Vennep. The company provides an integrated suite of ship management, crew management, technical management, ad-hoc crewing, crew support, offshore HSEQ and medical, executive search, and onshore recruitment services to vessel owners and operators worldwide. Its client base spans LNG, oil and chemical tanker operators, offshore support vessel operators (tugs, heavy lifting, DP2-equipped research and survey vessels), cruise vessel operators, and the offshore oil and gas industry.

The company's service delivery is built on a global footprint of 13 offices plus 3 regional partners located in Singapore, India, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Underlying operations are supported by modern digital systems for maritime asset management, compliance monitoring, and risk minimization, with consulting services conducted under TMSA/OCIMF/CDI-based inspection frameworks. Technical management capability extends to newbuilding supervision, marine logistics, OCIMF/CDI inspections, insurance and claims handling, pre-purchase inspections, condition surveys, and financial administration.

Lowland operates a B2B enterprise field sales model, maintaining direct relationships with shipping companies, offshore operators, and vessel owners, with pricing structured on a quote basis tailored to vessel specifications and client requirements. Revenue is generated through managed services contracts (crew and technical management) and professional services fees (executive search, onshore recruitment, crew support services such as visa, training, certification, transport, and accommodation). The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investors, or funding history, and no public revenue figures are available.
