Vroon Offshore Services’ (VOS) new Subsea Support Vessel has been named at Oranjewerf Shiprepair Amsterdam, part of Damen Shipyards Group. The vessel called at Oranjewerf early January after a voyage from China to the Netherlands to undergo a series of modifications.
Equipping the Vessel as a Subsea Support Vessel
The new vessel is named after a Rolling Stones song. Among the various modifications Oranjewerf executed are the installation of a 24 tonnes crane and a fully equipped workplace in the aft. Further work included the positioning of an additional mast, a new High Precision Acoustic Positioning (HiPAP) sonar, a Hadex unit with UV filters (a continuous disinfectant for drinking water) and various pipe laying work. After the naming ceremony at Oranjewerf the ship is now fit for deployment as a Subsea Support Vessel.
Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) has a fleet of over one hundred vessel and is active at the North Sea, in South-Europe and South-East Asia. Oranjewerf’s core business is docking, repair, conversion and regular maintenance of vessels and floating material for the deepsea and inland navigation sectors. The shipyard does construction jobs and mechanic operational work as well.
