To maintain its global leadership in subsea rock installation and support the offshore energy transition, Van Oord has announced the construction of two new state-of-the-art vessels

Designed for high-capacity and sustainable operations, the ships will feature methanol-capable engines, advanced automation and substantial cargo capacity to meet rising demand for seabed intervention.

Each will have a rock-carrying capacity of 35,000 tonnes and be equipped with a DP-2 dynamic positioning system.
