Royal Niestern Sander Delivers walk to work vessel after successful conversion

Recently, Royal Niestern Sander has delivered Koenigsborg, the third converted walk to work emergency response and rescue vessel (W2W ERRV) for Wagenborg Offshore.

CONVERSION

An existing PX121 platform supply ship – currently named ‘Hermit Viking’ – was converted into the walk to work vessel within 20 weeks at shipyard Royal Niestern Sander in Delfzijl. In this period, approximately 80 employees worked on the innovative conversion of the ship, which gave an impulse to the regional employment. The Koenigsborg was equipped with an additional accommodation module for 40 people. Also a motion compensated gangway was be installed to comply with all requirements.

Today, the Koenigsborg will start operations in the Southern North Sea.
