Visa requirements for Indian Nationals transiting through Schengen to the UK, by train/ferry?
score:6
There is a uniform airport transit visa policy in the Schengen zone. Only a few nationalities require a visa (“type A”) for airport transit, and India is not in the list for the Netherlands (however Indian nationals do need an airport transit visa for a few countries, including France and Germany). This visa (or visa waiver) is only valid if you don't leave the international zone in an airport; it does not even allow reaching the baggage claim.
There used to be a specific kind of Schengen transit visa (“type B”) which allowed up to 5 days, and you can still find traces of it on the web, but this visa was abolished in 2010. Now there is only the generic short stay (“type C”) visa, allowing up to 90 days in the Schengen area.
Obtaining this visa shouldn't be a problem with the proper forms and fees. Note that your colleague will need a multiple-entry visa. They may need to show the invitation in England, and perhaps the ferry ticket.
You can find generic information about Schengen visa on the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. The VFS Global website has more information specific to India, including fees, but beware that the website does not seem quite up-to-date as it still separates transit visas from tourist visas.

If they hold a Long-Stay Visa for the UK which is part of the EU, they are allowed to enter into the Schengen Area for max. 90 days in a 180 day period.
Although The UK (& Ireland) may not be a part of the Schengen Area they are still EU Member states and their respective long-stay/residence visa's are recognized within the Schengen Area.
