We are pleased to announce the order of two newbuilding
platform-supply vessels (PSV), with an option for two additional
vessels. After an extensive tender process, contracts have now been
signed for the vessels, which will be constructed
at COSCO Guangdong Shipyard in China.
These new PX121-type PSVs will be delivered early in 2015 and are
intended for operation in European waters by Vroon Offshore Services B.V.
in Den Helder.
We are looking forward to cooperating with COSCO Shipyards on
building these ships. COSCO is presently also constructing four
livestock carriers for Vroon at the same Shipyard.
