About NjordIC
NjordIC: Experts in Explosive Ordnance Solutions with a Maritime Focus
At NjordIC, we combine decades of experience and expertise in explosive ordnance investigation with a unique focus on the maritime domain. Our independent consultancy was founded by three seasoned experts with over 80 years of combined experience in explosive detection and strategic advisory. Their passion and craftsmanship are the foundation of NjordIC.
A Wide Range of Expertise
Our knowledge extends beyond explosives. We bring expertise in dredging technology, hydrology, (geo)morphology, coastal and harbor engineering, and explosive ordnance disposal. This diverse skill set allows us to thoroughly analyze projects and accurately assess the risks associated with unexploded ordnance (UXO).
The Team Behind NjordIC
Since our founding on December 15, 2017, by John Bakker, Erwin van den Berg, and Erik Wildeman, our team has continued to grow. In 2019, Paul Shaw joined as a valuable addition, and in 2024, Perry Kosterman further strengthened our ranks. Together, we tackle complex projects on both a national and international scale.
Our Clients, Our Mission
We collaborate with governments, semi-government organizations, contractors, and engineering firms to ensure safety and provide practical solutions to complex explosive challenges. NjordIC is ISO 9001 certified, standing for quality, independence, and reliability.

Why NjordIC?
Because we believe UXO clearance and disposal operations can be managed in a more efficient, transparent, innovative and qualitative manner.
State of the art and a thorough historical research and risk assessment result in a firm foundation for the definition of a tailor-made UXO mitigation strategy. Tender assistance will ensure a contractor is selected offering best value for money. Eventually EOD-management and client representation will guarantee the operations are performed according to the projects requirements and will result in ALARP sign-off.
