Contract signed for newbuild EuroCarrier Maasstroom

Van Wijngaarden Marine Services B.V. and Neptune Marine have signed the contract for the construction of a new EuroCarrier 2712 – DP1 – TIER III, to be named Maasstroom.

The signing took place at the offices of Van Wijngaarden Marine Services.

With this newbuild EuroCarrier, Van Wijngaarden further expands its fleet with a multifunctional workboat designed for a wide range of maritime operations. The Maasstroom will be deployed for single and double towing operations, anchor handling, port-related crane and transport works, survey and geotechnical services, and support for dredging activities.

The vessel will feature a large working deck, accommodation for up to 12 personnel and will be equipped with modern systems including DP1, a four-point mooring system and preparation for an A-frame.

The design focuses on flexibility, efficiency and reliable performance across various projects.

The Maasstroom will be built at Neptune Marine, with delivery scheduled for September 2026. This Maasstroom will become the fourth Neptune-built ship within the Van Wijngaarden Marine Services fleet, further strengthening the long-standing cooperation between both parties.
