Translation Agency in Ostend: Language Services on the Belgian Coast
In 1981, Marvin Gaye left the United States and spent many months in Ostend. He walked on the beach, recovered his strength and wrote songs for the album that relaunched his career.
Offshore wind: from English to Dutch and back
The offshore wind farms of the Belgian North Sea are built and maintained by international teams, and their working language is usually English. But permits, local contracts and many safety and employment documents must be in Dutch, or sometimes French. We bridge that gap:
- Translating method statements, risk assessments, HSE procedures and emergency plans
- Translating permits, licences and correspondence with Belgian authorities
- Translating subcontracting agreements, technical specifications and inspection reports
- Translating induction and training materials for mixed-language crews
- Interpreting for site visits, audits and meetings with local partners
Sample assignments
- Translating an offshore contractor’s emergency response plan from English into Dutch
- English–Dutch interpreting during an audit at a port-based maintenance facility
- Translating a British seafood exporter’s certificates and supply agreement into Dutch and French
- Translating the minutes of a co-owners’ meeting into English for a UK-based apartment owner
- Sworn translation of a UK death certificate for an inheritance procedure in Belgium
