Multifunctional EuroCarrier workboat ‘Maasstroom’, designed for towing, survey, dredging and port services

Van Wijngaarden Marine Services, an independent, family-owned company, has signed a contract with Neptune Marine for the construction of a new EuroCarrier 2712 workboat DP1, TIER III vessel, to be named Maasstroom.

The newbuild will further expand Van Wijngaarden’s fleet with a multifunctional workboat designed for a broad range of maritime operations. Maasstroom will be deployed for single and double towing, anchor handling, port-related crane and transport activities, survey and geotechnical works, and in support of dredging operations.

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.
