The construction of the new “Zwerver III” is on schedule

HvS Dredging Support BV is proud to inform you that we have ordered a new unique Multi Purpose DP-1 Support Vessel, which will be named “Zwerver III”.

The vessel will be in service in November 2011.

This vessel is designed by ourselves and further developed in close cooperation with us through “Scheepswerf Gebr. Kooiman BV”.

It is a vessel which enters a new class of “Support Vessels”, which makes her able to compete with larger AHTS/Supply-/Support vessels in the market.

Further details will be available soon on our website.

At the end of June 2010, HVSDS completed the contract with Van Oord Offshore & Marine contractors in Fujairah (UAE).

After this completion, the “Zwerver I” sailed direct to The Sultanate of Oman. There we started a contract with “SAAF JV” (Saipem s.a. – AFCONS) for a duration of approx. 6 months.

The scope of work for the “Zwerver I” on this project is towing/pushing of barges, assisting several jack-ups and transfer of materials and fuel/fresh water.
