We are pleased to announce that Rob Louvet has officially joined Safeway as Managing Director, effective September 1st, 2025.
With an impressive track record in the maritime, oil & gas, and renewables industries, Rob brings a wealth of leadership experience to the table. Known for his hands-on approach and strategic mindset, he has successfully led teams through operational shifts, organisational change, and international growth. His ability to align people, processes, and performance makes him a strong fit for Safeway’s next phase.
As we continue to expand our global footprint and serve the growing demand for motion-compensated offshore access, Rob’s appointment marks a natural next step. Under his leadership, Safeway will stay focused on safety, innovation, and delivering real value to our clients in offshore wind, oil & gas, and beyond.
“We’re entering a new chapter for Safeway,” says CEO Wijnand van Aalst. “With Rob’s extensive background and results-driven mentality, I’m confident he will help strengthen our position in this fast-changing industry.”
Rob will work closely with the wider management team and key partners to build on the strong foundation Safeway has established over the past decade. From expanding into new markets to optimizing operational excellence, the focus remains clear: supporting offshore operations through safe, smart, and future-proof access solutions.
We warmly welcome Rob to the Van Aalst Group ecosystem and look forward to shaping the future of offshore access together.
A more in-depth interview with Rob will be published later this year.
