Delivery Cable Recovery Vessel ‘Maasvliet'

February 4, 2025

Holland Shipyards Group is pleased to announce the delivery of the Maasvliet, a highly specialized cable recovery vessel, to Hartel Shipping & Chartering, part of Hudig & Veder Group.

The Maasvliet, measuring 90,6 meters in length and 13,2 meters in width, is designed to efficiently support offshore cable recovery operations. The vessel will be on long-term charter to Subsea Environmental Services and deployed for vital cable projects over the coming years.

Designed for offshore cable recovery
The Maasvliet is equipped with advanced cable management systems, including dedicated cable tanks in the cargo hold for the collection and storage of cables retrieved from the seabed. This feature ensures smooth and efficient operations while meeting the high demands of offshore projects. The spacious working deck and specialized handling equipment further enhance the vessel's capabilities, enabling it to perform with precision in challenging conditions.

Sustainability features
In response to an increased focus on sustainability, the vessel is provided with a diesel-electric drivetrain, allowing for running on sustainable fuels now and later on in the future. The newbuild is propelled by two 374 bkW electro motors and has a total installed power of 749 kW. The frequency-controlled, diesel-electric power train regulates the speed of the screw on the basis of variables such as load factor, water level and navigation route, resulting in fuel saving up to 35% and significantly fewer emissions.

The delivery of the Maasvliet underscores Holland Shipyards Group's versatility as a shipbuilder. With a track record spanning green new builds, offshore vessels, and cargo ships, we pride ourselves on being a reliable partner across diverse maritime sectors. This project highlights our ability to combine technical expertise with tailored solutions, delivering vessels that meet the unique needs of our clients

We thank Hartel Shipping & Chartering and Hudig & Veder for their trust in Holland Shipyards Group. We look forward to seeing the Maasvliet in action and wish Subsea great success with this versatile vessel.
