About Us

For help with evaluating markets, joint ventures and acquisitions, strategy development, change management and new technology, shipping and logistics leaders can count on DB Consulting.

"Diederick is an astute and analytical logistics industry executive with first-hand experience of business development, strategy, operations and turnaround management."

Diederick Blom knows the shipping industry, from the top down and the bottom up, inside and out. He held senior executive posts at Samskip, Visbeen, Norfolk Line and Maersk, serving as Samskip COO and Interim CEO. Now joint Managing Director of Rail Service Center Rotterdam, he was also MD at DailyFresh Logistics and Coolboxx.

DB Consulting was established after multiple requests for top-level consultancy services from leading names in shipping. “As soon as I left Samskip, I was asked to develop a logistics strategy for a major transport group,” says Diederick. “A broad range of invitations quickly followed. And so, in 2021, DB Consulting came to be.”
