Since January 1, 2025, the mandatory pension scheme of the Industry Pension Fund for Rhine and Inland Navigation has officially expired. Employers in the sector have therefore become responsible for setting up a suitable pension scheme for their staff themselves. Haven't arranged this yet? Then now is the time to take action.
A preferential arrangement through AEGON
Koninklijke Binnenvaart Nederland and AEGON have developed a "Preferential Rhine and Inland Navigation Scheme": a pension scheme that is (virtually) budget neutral. Note: whether this applies to your organization depends on the composition of your employee base. So there is no "one size fits all" solution.
At Schouten Zekerheid , we are happy to help you calculate and compare the possibilities. That way you can choose a scheme that suits your company and your staff on the basis of facts.
Why retirement advice is important
Since January 1, 2025, as an employer you are no longer obliged to be a member of the BPF Rijn- en Binnenvaart. You now have to set up your own pension plan. This requires clear choices, good communication to your employees and careful implementation.
Our roadmap: insight, choices, action
Together with you, we go through a clear process:
- Introduction & analysis of your current situation
- Collection of data & calculations
- Discussing options & making choices
- Implementation & communication towards employees
We support you every step of the way - from quote requests to employee presentations.
Don't let this transition be a missed opportunity
The obligation is gone, but the responsibility remains. A good pension is and remains important for your staff. Let us help you get it right.
