Vroon announces successful delivery of emergency response and rescue vessel VOS Famous
Vroon has announced the successful delivery VOS Famous. The vessel left Jiangsu Islands Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. in Nanjing, China at the weekend, the company said in its press release.
VOS Famous, a 50‑m ERRV (emergency response and rescue vessel) is the seventh in a ten-vessel newbuilding programme, with six 50-m ERRVs being built at Jiangsu Island Shipbuilding in Nanjing and four 60-m vessels under construction at Fujian Shipbuilding Industry, also in China. All vessels have a revolutionary, wave-piercing bow shape that has been specially designed for Vroon. The first three sister vessels from Nanjing, VOS Fabulous, VOS Fairness and VOS Faithful, have already been delivered to the company and are now operating out of Aberdeen for Vroon Offshore Services.
In a ceremony held at the shipyard in November 2014, VOS Famous was christened by Mrs Hanneke Rikken-Taat, wife of Vroon Group’s Technical Director and Newbuilding Manager, Mr Eric Rikken.
VOS Famous will be operational in the North Sea this summer.
