The arrangements for the new pension scheme have been finalised

The new Dutch Future Pensions Act (Wet toekomst pensioenen - Wtp) took effect on 1 July 2023. It means that every pension scheme needs to change, including that of Bpf Koopvaardij. The social partners – i.e. the representatives of the employees and employers together – have been busy recently making arrangements about the new pension scheme. Those arrangements have now been finalised, and are set out in the 'transition plan'. You can now access the plan.

The transition plan is a comprehensive plan. It is the basis for switching to the new pension scheme. The transition plan sets out all the new arrangements for our pension scheme. The plan also states what will happen to pensions already accrued and those being paid out now.

You can read the entire transition plan on our website. Would you prefer to know only the most important arrangements? We have prepared a summary for each target group with easy-to-understand explanations. To do so, go to Transition plan and choose the situation that suits you best.
