Congratz to your son!

I hope the collision with the white carrack, depicted in the logo, went well. A ship of the size of the Noordam should probably just plow through a wooden vessel.

I wasn't sure at first, if the logo should not show a white ship painted on the bow, but no: the white ship denies the bigger ship the right of passage - their mistake

Sorry but we cross posted...James read your post and he informs me the company logo is meant to signify how long ago the company was formed.
