Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) plans disposal of three platform-supply vessels (PSV) to right size its PSV fleet, says a press release published on their website.
Fleet right-sizing
Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) has decided the disposal of three platform-supply vessels (PSV), with the aim of “right-sizing” its PSV fleet.
The vessels, VOS Power, VOS Producer and VOS Prominence, were built between 2006 and 2007.
Reason for disposal
All three vessels had been laid-up for some time in the North of The Netherlands and well maintained and in excellent technical condition throughout this period.
The recent downturn in offshore Oil & Gas markets and continuing negative employment outlook resulted in a recent decision to divest the units.
Recycling according to EU/national laws
- The vessels will be moved from Harlingen to a specialised Dutch ship-recycling facility during the second half of this month.
- They will be dismantled in full compliance with both EU/national laws and all applicable international regulations and guidelines.
Components and materials will be recovered in a safe and environmentally sound manner for re-processing and re-use to the largest extent possible.
VOS fleet info
VOS will continue to operate an extensive fleet of modern offshore-support vessels, including 17 PSVs, from offices in Aberdeen, Den Helder, Genoa and Singapore.
