Vroon takes delivery of VOS Pride

At the end of August, Vroon took delivery of VOS Pride. The vessel was handed over to Vroon during a ceremony held at Fujian Southeast Shipyard, the company said in its press release.
 
VOS Pride, a platform-supply vessel (PSV), is the first in a series of eight sister vessels ordered by Vroon Offshore Services. All vessels have an SPS code and are equipped with full (under-deck) supply capabilities, that include stainless-steel tanks for the carriage of methanol. They also provide accommodation and work space for a total of 52 (client staff and up to 14 crew members). The other seven vessels will be delivered to Vroon later this year and in 2016.
 
This unique vessel concept provides a free deck space of 720 sqm and is based on a KCM design. In close cooperation, Khiam Chuan Marine (KCM), Vroon’s Newbuilding Engineering Department, the world-renowned yacht designer KER Yacht Design & Engineering and Force Technology in Copenhagen worked together to fully optimise the design in order to ensure favourable motion and sea-keeping ability and efficient fuel consumption (both in DP mode and during transit).
 
VOS Pride left the Shipyard earlier this week, Monday 7 September. The vessel will be managed by Vroon Offshore Services in Singapore.
