Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) are pleased to announce the delivery of another three newbuildings, as part of the fleet renewal and expansion programme.

Five vessels have been delivered to date, with four deliveries in 2007 and one earlier this week. The remaining ten vessels are scheduled to become operational during the period 2008 to 2011.

During the past two weeks, the platform supply vessel "Pool Express" and the emergency response and rescue vessel "VOS Trapper" have both been delivered by Damen Shipyards. In addition, the field support vessel "VOS Pathfinder" has been delivered by the Zamakona Shipyard in Spain. During the coming months all three vessels are expected to start medium- to long-term charter contracts in the North Sea.

The company is pleased to have these new ships join the fleet and wish all sea staff safe and happy sailing!

The fleet includes conventional and multi-role ERRVs, platform supply, anchor handling, sub-sea support and utility vessels, operating principally in the North Sea, the Mediterranean and South East Asia.
