Caland Welcomes Ynke Ooijkaas and Marieke van den Dool – Expanding Expertise

Rotterdam, 6 October 2025 – Caland is delighted to announce that Ynke Ooijkaas and Marieke van den Dool have joined the firm. Their arrival adds valuable expertise in inland shipping and shipbuilding, with a particular focus on yacht construction, further expanding Caland’s already broad practice in maritime law.

“Ynke and Marieke bring experience that allows us to offer an even more comprehensive service to our clients,” said Cherry Almeida. “Our mission remains to serve clients across the full spectrum of maritime, transport and trade law – from ocean shipping to inland navigation, from superyacht construction to road transport, and from charter parties to insurance disputes.”

Their appointment follows the addition of Flip van Huizen last year, who brought with him extensive experience in road transport law and insurance law, enabling Caland to provide an even more complete offering.

The expansion enables Caland to invest even more time and energy in building client relationships by organizing information sessions, publishing in professional journals, and providing industry-wide support.

The new team, which also include as partners Richard van ‘t Zelfde, Jitteke Blussé Van Oud Alblas and Cherry Almeida, embodies the spirit of modern professionals: engaged, legally astute, digitally skilled, diverse, and passionate about their work.

Caland invites media and partners to meet its strengthened team, ready to tackle the most complex challenges in the maritime and transport sectors.
