Zwerver II – A Multicat With a Difference
By their very nature the Multi-purpose work vessel is becoming a common tool for many operators concerned with port maintenance, dredging, and marine civil engineering. In most respects the configuration of such vessels, especially those of the pontoon type, is now well established and the craft are increasingly popular. But when HVS Dredging Support BV of Harlingen made plans to replace their shallow multipurpose tug Zwerver II with a more substantial vessel from the Damen Multi-Cat range the result was a rather more specialised vessel. Bearing the same name as its predecessor, the new Zwerver II has turned out to be a real Wolf in Sheeps Clothing.
