Summary:
Rob Hoekstra founded SEACAMEL BV. Seacamel want to provide Maritime
engineering and consultancy by combining proven concepts creatively to
find new solutions for new problems.
� Specialist in preparing stability calculations and guiding ballast
operations for all kinds of floating, submerged and grounded objects.
� Specialist in structural design and FE analysis with respect to vessels.
Especially when the effect of global deformation is significant.
Worked with Subsea from Feb 2008 to July 2009 as project engineering
manager. Worked within the management team to build up and structure
a new office in Rotterdam.

July 2010 – January 2011
� Lead engineer for the transport of the SHELL
Mars-B TLP (South Korea - the US Gulf)
Responsibility:
o Define the project planning.
o Transform concept studies to detailed
engineering and finalize the design so that
construction can proceed.
July 2010 – January 2011
� Lead engineer for the transport of the Goliat
FPSO (South Korea - Hammerfest, Norway)
Responsibility:
o Define the project planning.
o Transform concept studies to detailed
engineering and finalize the design so that
construction can proceed.
August 2009 – July 2010
� Lead engineer for the Vyborg float-over
project. Responsibility was:
o Design of the mooring spread
o FE analyse the interaction between the
vessel, the floating hull and the topside
during the mating process.
o Mating procedures.
o Typhoon procedures
The global deformation of the lower hull of the SSFDR (Semi
Submersible Floating Drilling Rig) during the mating of the topside
on the lower hull and the subsequent impact on a local level was a
very challenging issue.
Project Engineering Manager at Subsea 7
February 2008 – 2009 (1.5 years)
� Responsible for the Project Engineering Group in the Rotterdam
office.
� Proposal engineer for the Kristin K and Q development.
Reeled pipeline with DEH cable, umbilical including riser and
Template installation.
� Lead for the Shell Draugen FLP removal.
The Draugen Floating Loading Platform had to be prepared for
transport to a decommission yard. Responsible for outfitting the FLP
for transport, anchor line recovery and riser disconnection and
subsequent recovery of the risers. Did not participate till the end
due to delays in the project execution.
Lead Engineer at Dockwise Transport NV
2006 – 2008 (2 years)

� In this role, I executed many business trips with colleagues from the
business acquisition department to discuss contracts and scopes
with clients.
� Responsible for the transport engineering group which consist out of
about 10 people. This group executes all engineering for the
“standard” transports. This is about 90% of all projects.
� Involved in the design of a new generation of heavy lift vessels. My
responsibility was:
o Vessel local deck strength
o Vessel global strength
o Vessel stability in submerged condition
o Pump and ballast line arrangement
o Increase and optimize vessel capabilities/ capacities regarding
side and stern roll-on/roll-off loadout operations.
� Re-assed construction of all Dockwise vessels to increase allowable
bending moments and applied for new class certificates. As a result,
the vessels could carry more cargo and sail with lower drafts
resulting in lower fuel consumption/higher sailing speeds.
� Developed a method and started patent granting procedure to
obtain patent to build a 50.000 mt topside on a quay-side and mate
this topside on a spar buoy.
� Developed a method and started patent granting procedure for a
float-over operation to increase the air gap while avoiding high
grillage on the transport vessel or barge. Method allowed heavier
topsides to be mated for a given distance between the legs of the
jacket.
� Made a study and defended methodology towards DNV to calculate
GM in an alternative manner to get more accurate results for
asymmetric floating objects. This action opened the way for GHS
(www.ghsport.com) to obtain class approval for their software on
this subject.
2007 Lead Project engineer Chevron CVX Tahiti
Spar. The Tahiti spar is the heaviest spar
transported in one piece.
2007 Lead Project engineer and assistant
superintendent Murphy Kikeh Spar.
Senior Engineer at Dockwise Shipping B.V., Breda, the
Netherlands
2001 – 2006 (5 years)
� Responsible for maintenance and support of FE software. Developed
a method to make quick assessments to calculated local deck stress
variations as a result of variations in global vessel deformation due
to waves.

2006 Lead Project engineer for the Kerr-McGee Constitution Spar
transport.
2006 Lead Project engineer for 3 Russian nuclear
powered submarines that had to be
transported to a dismantling yard. Developed
a new way to support and seafasten
submarines which reduced seafastening costs
by 60% and seafastening time by 3 days.
2004 Lead Project engineer for the BP Mad Dog Spar transport.
Developed and introduced a new method to skid spars from the
quay onto a vessel. The loadout time was reduced by about 20h and
ensured better load spreading and hence allowed for heavier cargoloads.
2003 Lead Project engineer for the BP Holstein Spar
transport.
2003 Lead Project engineer and load out
superintendent for the Dominion Devils Tower
Spar transport.
2002 Lead Project engineer and load out superintendent for the Dominion
Medusa Spar transport.

� Involved in training of new personnel.
� Working on the more complex type of projects from an engineering
viewpoint.
� Responsible for the implementation of the stability software GHS.
� Involved in the implementation of Finite Element software and
responsible for standardization of Finite Element Analysis.
2001 Lead Project engineer and loadout superintendent for the Conoco
Hang Tuah Self-Installing platform. Developed and introduced a
method to calculate and evaluate initial and dynamic stability for
units that float on air bubbles under their skirts. This discharge
method was adopted by Arup Energy when they designed the “MCR-
A Gravity Base Structure” for PETRONAS.
