Frans Jol, born in Holland, started his seaman's life eraly. Jol cames from a family with a great deal of shipping in its history - even going back to Captain Cornelis Jol, who worked for the Dutch east indie company VOC as far back as 1559.
Shipping and logistics is a huge global industry, but nevertheless has a limited amount of people involved. Everybody knows each other. To succeed, it is therefore important to have a good network. Over the course of his 50 years in the industry, Jol has developed an extensive network between colleagues and friends all around the world. He need to keep in close contact with all of those network, where fairness and mutual support are vital. There are no secrets in shipping, but it is important to use information received in the appropriate manner. In this way, it is possible to establish friendships with a whole chain of contacts, in all parts of the transport chain, and to exchange information and technology with these contacts, and to help each other.
