| Work Detail |
Dutch-based firm Van Wijngaarden Marine Services has signed a letter of intent with the Kooiman Marine Group for the design and construction of a next-gen DP2 multi-purpose vessel (MPV). The vessel will have a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system with the latest IMO Tier III emissions and ultra-low emission vessel compliance. The yet unnamed 47m MPV will accommodate 27 crew members and be able to conduct anchor handling operations, subsea work, or support offshore and renewable energy projects. The vessel will be entirely built in Kooiman Marine’s shipyard, and since the hull will be constructed in the Netherlands, it will be a fully Dutch-built product. The financial details of the deal were left undisclosed. This latest order will increase the Van Wijngaarden Marine Services fleet to 20 vessels. Its fleet is currently working in different sectors such as offshore wind and oil and gas. |
