Rob Smeets is benoemd tot de nieuwe CEO van de Havenautoriteit Antwerpen-Brugge. De raad van de havenautoriteit maakte bekend dat Smeets voor een termijn van zes jaar de opvolging van Jacques Vandermeiren zal aannemen, die op 14 april 2026 zijn ontslag had aangekondigd. De benoeming volgt op een selectieproces waarin een verscheidenheid aan kandidaten door een commissie, bestaande uit leden van de raad, werd beoordeeld. Rob Smeets werd als de meest geschikte kandidaat gekozen.<\/p>\n

Jarenlange ervaring in de havenautoriteit<\/h3>\n

Smeets is de Havenautoriteit Antwerpen-Brugge niet onbekend. Hij is al meer dan twintig jaar werkzaam in verschillende leidinggevende functies. Sinds 2014 leidde hij de afdeling sleepdiensten, werd in 2017 directeur nautische operaties en is sinds 2019 lid van het uitvoerend comit\u00e9 als Chief Operations Officer (COO). Na de aankondiging van Vandermeirens ontslag nam hij interim de rol van CEO op zich.<\/a><\/p>\n

Met zijn uitgebreide ervaring binnen de organisatie en zijn diepgaande begrip van de haven en de processen daarvan, is Smeets goed uitgerust om de havenautoriteit te leiden in een tijd van aanzienlijke investeringen en geopolitieke veranderingen. De raad is ervan overtuigd dat hij de autoriteit door de uitdagingen kan leiden waarmee de Europese industrie wordt geconfronteerd.<\/p>\n

Vooruitzicht op de toekomstige ontwikkeling<\/h3>\n

Over zijn benoeming zei hij:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201eIk ben de raad dankbaar voor hun vertrouwen. De haven Antwerpen-Brugge is internationaal goed gepositioneerd en heeft uitstekende medewerkers, klanten en partners. Samen willen we blijven bouwen aan een haven die zijn invloed vergroot, klaar is voor de uitdagingen van morgen en zijn positie als toonaangevende wereldhaven verder versterkt. Ik kijk ernaar uit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Johan Klaps, voorzitter van de raad van de havenautoriteit, benadrukte het belang van de snelle benoeming van een nieuwe CEO voor de continu\u00efteit van de organisatie.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201eRob kent de havenautoriteit en de haven als geen ander. Hij is een bekend gezicht zowel binnen als buiten de organisatie, kent onze belanghebbenden goed en kan verschillende belangen op elkaar afstemmen. Bovendien heeft hij uitgebreide ervaring in het beheer van grote budgetten, investeringsprogramma’s en veranderprocessen. In een tijd waarin levering en uitvoering van het grootste belang zijn, zijn we ervan overtuigd dat Rob met zijn pragmatische leiderschapsstijl de juiste persoon is om de Havenautoriteit Antwerpen-Brugge te leiden.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dirk De fauw, vicevoorzitter van de raad, benadrukte dat het selectieproces snel, maar grondig is uitgevoerd.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201eHet feit dat zoveel mensen interesse in deze rol hebben getoond, bevestigt de nationale en internationale aantrekkingskracht van de Havenautoriteit Antwerpen-Brugge. Vanwege zijn ervaring, zijn kennis van de haven en zijn leiderschapskwaliteiten heeft Rob in dit proces als de sterkste kandidaat gepresteerd. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat Rob samen met de raad, het leiderschapsteam, de organisatie en onze klanten onze haven nog sterker zal maken en ons zal voorbereiden op een uitdagende toekomst.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
