Who We Are
Captain Cornelius Bockermann is a Master mariner and Founder of Timbercoast Cargo Under Sail.
Over 20 years in the marine industry led to the successful founding of his own marine contracting company, working in the off-shore and salvage industry. In this role, he saw first hand the negative impact humans are having on the marine environment.
Realizing that it was time to act, Cornelius initiated the Timbercoast project! And with a world class team of volunteers, he made the AVONTUUR seaworthy.
In his words, “Our work may look like a drop in the ocean, however, we will persist, and together we will be the tide that changes the marine transport industry!"
