The dynamic world of <strong>Mammoet</strong><br />
2009 will definitely be a year to remember at <strong>Mammoet</strong>. It has been a year of<br />
extremes, as despite the economic turbulence, it was a good year for our<br />
company. This is clearly demonstrated by the many challenging and often<br />
remarkable projects covered in this ninth edition of <strong>Mammoet</strong> <strong>World</strong>. If you<br />
have been following <strong>Mammoet</strong>’s work for a while, you will recognize the red<br />
thread running through all our projects, all issues of <strong>Mammoet</strong> <strong>World</strong> and our<br />
entire corporate history: the dynamic drive in our work. <strong>Mammoet</strong> keeps<br />
introducing new services, developing new solutions, entering new markets,<br />
moving boundaries, and breaking records.<br />
<strong>Mammoet</strong> has always had strong positions in the petrochemical, power, offshore and<br />
civil engineering sectors; and in recent years, we have also established a marine division.<br />
This issue of <strong>Mammoet</strong> <strong>World</strong> puts the spotlight on two of our companies: <strong>Mammoet</strong><br />
Salvage, which has extended its worldwide service portfolio with emergency response<br />
services, and <strong>Mammoet</strong> Maritime which is now operating under its new name as a provider<br />
of a full range of maritime services on the coastal waters and inland waterways in<br />
Western Europe.<br />
Sustainability is another key issue. <strong>Mammoet</strong> plays its part in terms of reducing fuel and<br />
energy consumption and cutting CO 2 emissions. Corporate Safety Director Koos van Tol,<br />
who is also responsible for environmental issues, explains what <strong>Mammoet</strong> is already<br />
doing to embed this corporate social responsibility into our activities as well as our plans<br />
for the future. The Board explains how <strong>Mammoet</strong> fared during the ups and downs of<br />
2009 and what new initiatives we are planning because <strong>Mammoet</strong> still has great ambitions,<br />
as befits a dynamic business.<br />
We hope that you will enjoy this issue of <strong>Mammoet</strong> <strong>World</strong>.<br />
