About Robert Barendregt
Robert Barendregt has worked in the maritime industry for more than 30 years. In his current role at Eaton, he focuses on what electrification means for port operators, ship owners, and the many other companies that do business in this busy industrial sector. Robert keeps a close watch on the maritime industry’s progress in reducing carbon emissions, particularly in Europe, and especially in Amsterdam and Rotterdam which are close to his base in the Netherlands.
He is well versed in Europe’s Net Zero goals, particularly the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive which will, amongst other things, require core EU ports to ramp up onshore electrical power supply by 2030.
