He was in the employ of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, (The United East Indian Company) which was better known as the Dutch East India Company.

On Abel Tasman's first voyage in 1642, he encountered the sluppies, which were likely a reference to the local Māori people, specifically in the context of their interactions. His expedition aimed to explore and map the coastlines of New Zealand and Tasmania. However, the encounters were often tumultuous, leading to conflict rather than peaceful exchanges. Tasman's voyage ultimately expanded European knowledge of the region, despite the challenges faced with the indigenous populations.

Able Tasman has two wives. Their names were: (First wife) Claejie Heyndricks, and (Second wife) Janetje Tjaers.
