Dutch LOI for next-generation Multi-Purpose Vessel
Dutch firms Van Wijngaarden Marine Services and Kooiman Marine Group have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for a next-generation DP2 Multi-Purpose Vessel (MPV).
The 47m x 16m DP2 class vessel will have hybrid diesel-electric propulsion and will be engineered ’for ultimate flexibility’ for shallow waters, anchor-handling operations, subsea work or for supporting offshore energy projects – whether oil and gas or offshore wind.
“With its compact footprint and powerful capabilities, it will significantly expand the ability of Van Wijngaarden Marine Services to serve clients around the world,” Van Wijngaarden says.
The vessel will incorporate IMO Tier III emissions compliance and ULEV (Ultra Low Emission Vessel) compliance.
”This agreement marks a new milestone in the commitment of Van Wijngaarden Marine Services’ to innovation, sustainability, and operational versatility across their fleet and the Kooiman Marine Group custom design capabilities,” the two firms said.
