About Ambtman Consultancy

Making the decisive
difference for our customers

Ambtman Consultancy was founded in 2007 by John den Ambtman to support marine equipment manufacturers with their international commercial activities — strategic focus, agent management and project-related support.

Today, the company is a group of skilled and highly dedicated colleagues and business partners, each with their own speciality and background, jointly committed to one philosophy: making the decisive difference for our customers.

With a strong background and network in the maritime industries, we've built an extensive portfolio of reference customers — and we're translating that method into a wider customer base across other industries.

"Business is a team sport. Straight-forward business solutions — from strategic long-term positioning to daily operational management, we cover what it takes to hold a steady course, together."

Where we're active

A network built across three maritime sectors

With a strong background in the maritime industries, we've built an extensive portfolio of reference customers across these core sectors — including oil & gas, energy and infrastructural projects.

01

Shipbuilding

Commercial support for manufacturers and yards, built on long-standing relationships across the shipbuilding value chain.

02

Shipping

Operational and commercial guidance for organisations active in shipping and maritime logistics.

03

Offshore & Energy

Support across offshore oil & gas, energy and infrastructural projects — where capital-intensive, technically complex programmes demand a steady course.

What we do

From long-term strategy to the day-to-day

From strategic long-term positioning to daily operational or commercial management, project-related support, or contract reviews only — together with our partners, we cover what it takes.

🧭

Strategic positioning

Long-term direction that enables sustainable growth and a healthy business case for owners, employees and customers alike.

⚙️

Operational & commercial management

Hands-on involvement in daily operations and commercial decision-making, exactly where it's needed.

📋

Project & interim management

Beyond project management and contract review: we also step in as interim management, and intervene directly when a company or project is underperforming — hard where it must, fair always — stabilising the situation and steering it back on course.

🌐

Partner network

Together with trusted partners in marketing & branding, legal, communication and technical management or design.
