We are pleased to announce the launching, on Sunday 3 May 2015, of VOS Sugar. VOS Sugar is a 68-metre subsea-support vessel (SSV), currently under construction at Fujian Southeast Shipbuilding in China.
VOS Sugar is the first of two such newbuilding vessels being built in Fujian, both fitted with an active heave-compensated crane. They will be the sixth and seventh vessels in Vroon Offshore Services’ growing SSV fleet, with two additional SSVs planned for 2016.
The VOS SSV portfolio is based on vessel designs developed by Vroon’s Performance and Engineering Department, reflecting both client specifications, market requirements and substantial in-house offshore experience.
VOS Sugar will be delivered to the company in September. After her arrival in Europe, she will be further outfitted during the winter months and will be ready in good time for the 2016 subsea season. She will be operated by Vroon Offshore Services Den Helder.
