Offshore visions After almost three decades in the downstream division of a major energy and petrochemicals company, I was given the opportunity to discover a dimension of the world that had, so far, been hidden for me. The Netherlands, the country where I was born and raised, actually turned out to be three times bigger than I had been taught at school, its centre marked by the “northern” town of Den Helder rather than the “central” city of Utrecht.
