At request of Maaskant Shipyard in Stellendam, our Erik A. de Koning and Wouter Sluis were invited to visit the new-built seismic research support vessel (SRSV) 7-Waves.
This vessel is due for delivery in the third quarter of 2014 and is the second vessel of a series of three. The sister vessel 7-Oceans was successfully delivered last Friday the 25th to the Dutch based Owners Rederij Groen B.V.
The vessels are identical; 35 x 8.70 metres and propelled by two Azimuth thrusters, each powered by a 500 kW electric motor. Three Caterpillar gensets will provide electrical power.
All three vessels are Panama flagged by Hubel Marine B.V.
