One of Vroon’s newest vessels, the Vos Glamour, has arrived in Aberdeen following its long journey from Fujian Shipbuilding Trading in Fuzhou, China.
The Vos Glamour is a 60-m ERRV-FSV (emergency response and rescue vessel/field-support vessel) and the first in a series of four such FSVs being built for Vroon. The vessels feature a revolutionary, wave-piercing bow shape and a 300m2 cargo deck.
The remaining three vessels will be operational in the coming months. The Vos Glamour will operate in the North Sea out of Aberdeen for Vroon Offshore Services. Today, 25 February it commences a long-term charter.
