Holland Shipyards Group delivered the TSHD Zeeburg to the owners Zand- & Grindhandel Van Ouwerkerk BV.

The former cargo vessel with 89,90m length has been converted into a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger at the Holland Shipyards yard in Hardinxveld-Giessendam.

The project compromised several extensive work procedures, such as modifications to the hull, an enlargement of the accommodation in the aft ship and the installation of all necessary dredging equipment.

Vera Navis is proud to be a trusted supplier on engineering services for Holland Shipyards Group and contributed to this project by providing both structural and systems detail design.

We recently had the privilege of executing and delivering another engineering project on structural platform detail production elements, to retrofit updated communication SATCOM and ECU units on Portuguese Navy (Marinha Portuguesa) vessels.

The delivery of all detail design and production elements were performed, integrating the initial information from Rhinoceros, and producing on ShipConstructor the final elements and nesting data for shipyard production.

Aas Mek. Verksted AS delivered its newbuilding no. 208, a wellboat type AAS 3002 ST to the owner Sølvtrans AS.

The new «Ronja Princess» is the first of three sister ships with 76.96 meters long, 17.80 meters wide and a depth of 5.90 meters.

The cargo volume is 3000 m3 which gives a capacity of carrying 400-450 tons of live fish. The cargo space is divided into two fish wells, which are equipped with sliding bulkheads and pressure loading and unloading systems.

The boats are designed for open and closed transport with RSW cooling, low draft for smolt transport and a dewatering system for freshwater treatment of the fish.

Vera Navis Ship Design is proud to be one of Aas Mek’s engineering thrust suppliers.
For this project, we delivered detailed analysis and production information on both structures and systems.
