Vroon's VOS Grace christening ceremony held in Greece

In a particularly special ceremony held in Perama, Greece yesterday afternoon, our 2015-built emergency-response and rescue vessel, VOS Grace, was named by Mrs. Maria Fatima Tripp, wife of Captain William Tripp, Vroonsaid in its press release.
 
VOS Grace is currently based in Greece, performing humanitarian work in the Mediterranean. Since last autumn, she has been involved in refugee-rescue duties, together with the UK Border Force, Royal Navy and Royal Marines. We are delighted to have found a suitable gap in these duties to arrange the christening ceremony and take some time to reflect on the demanding task being undertaken by vessel and crew.
 
VOS Grace is one of a series of four 60m (emergency response and rescue) field-support vessels constructed in China for Vroon and featuring a revolutionary, wave-piercing bow shape, DP2 and a 300m2 cargo deck.
