Aberdeen-based Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) Limited is partnering with leading green energy developer, ScottishPower Renewables, as it embarks on its first long-term charter providing emergency response and rescue vessel (ERRV) services for the offshore wind industry.
The contract award – with a value of more than £7 million – sees VOS support the offshore construction of ScottishPower’s East Anglia TWO and THREE windfarms off the coast of Suffolk, providing on-site ERRV services in the event of an emergency situation.
The selected response vessel, VOS Traveller, will operate out of Lowestoft port, with its 24-strong crew working on a 28-day rotation.
Ross Ovens, ScottishPower Renewables’ Managing Director for Offshore, said: “It’s great to welcome Vroon Offshore Services to our East Anglia supply chain family as we build the infrastructure that will help deliver a clean energy future. Keeping our offshore construction sites safe and protecting the people bringing them to life is an intrinsic part of what we do, and VOS will have a vital role to play in supporting any emergency response.
“Collectively, our two windfarms will produce enough green electricity to power more than two million homes, support thousands of jobs during construction and operation, and help drive economic growth. Working with partners like VOS, we’re injecting more than £3 billion into the UK supply chain right across the country and building a legacy that will have a positive impact for decades to come.”
Stuart Thom, VOS Managing Director said: “This new cooperation with ScottishPower Renewables marks a major milestone for VOS, being our first long-term commitment providing ERRV services to the offshore renewables sector. We look forward to collaborating with ScottishPower Renewables to ensure maximum safety for all personnel, while powering the green-energy transition in the North Sea.”
VOS Traveller’s key operational capabilities and ERRV duties will consist of:
• 24/7 continuous standby
• Safety cover
• Search and rescue (SAR) support – providing a Place of Safety within 20 minutes; utilising her specialised recovery equipment, including two fast rescue craft (FRC), a Dacon scoop and a heavy-duty rescue basket; onboard medical treatment facilities; advanced collision-avoidance surveillance, radio watchkeeping, and field logistics support; and offshore environmental monitoring.

Earlier this week, Vroon CEO 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗷𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗻 visited our Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) team in Aberdeen (UK). While there, he stepped on board 𝙑𝙊𝙎 𝙎𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙚𝙧 to meet the crew members during their port call. Accompanied by VOS Managing Director 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺 and Project Manager 𝗧𝘇𝘂-𝗬𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗶𝗷, Martijn received a warm welcome from VOS Seeker’s master 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹 𝗞𝗼𝗸𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗸 and his crew.

One of our Aberdeen-managed emergency response and rescue/field-support vessels, VOS Seeker joined the fleet as a newbuilding in March 2009. She is equipped to UK Oil & Gas standard Class B and can rescue up to 300 survivors. She can also carry out cargo and other value-added offshore services. The photo shows the group visiting VOS Seeker’s hospital, where her highly trained, professional crew are able to provide medical services to up to 300 survivors.

VOS Seeker has operated safely and successfully throughout her lifetime, recently completing 17 years without a single lost-time-incident (LTI). This excellent safety record is testament to the first-class teamwork and professional attitude on board and demonstrates the importance and effectiveness of the Vroon Safety Culture and Leaders in Safety Programme.

⚓ Thanks to all on board for their time and kind hospitality. We wish you continued safe sailings, as you resume your charter for 𝗔𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲!

👏 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗩𝗿𝘂𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗸 celebrates her tenth anniversary with Vroon this month. Mirte joined the ICT Department in July 2016, at the time of the Company’s relocation from Breskens to Breda, starting her career as ICT Department Assistant. In that role, she supported a wide range of departmental activities, including SharePoint administration, planning of meetings, travel arrangements, budget administration, communication with other departments and planning of team events. She also assisted in several ICT initiatives, including the rollout of Skype for Business and activities related to Vroon's cloud migration and user adoption programs.

In 2022, Mirte transitioned to the role of ICT Business Applications Analyst. Since then, she has gradually expanded her knowledge of business processes and application support. Her initial focus included supporting the Crewing system in AX2012 and implementation of QA, ship certificates and HSE processes within FLEETimpact, working closely with our end-user community and business stakeholders.

During the past few years, Mirte has primarily been involved in supporting business applications and system transitions. She contributed to the transition from AX2012 to Dynamics 365, taking responsibility for CRM and procurement processes, particularly Axtension, while also supporting HRM-related processes in D365. More recently, she was involved in the migration of crewing operations to Hanseaticsoft’s Cloud Fleet Manager for both office users and vessels.

Over the course of ten years, Mirte has successfully adapted to changing responsibilities and developed from a department support role into a Business Applications Analyst position. Her experience, knowledge of Vroon's systems and familiarity with the business continue to support the day-to-day operation of several important applications.

Earlier today, Mirte was presented with a bouquet of flowers and celebratory cake by ICT Business Applications Manager 𝗡𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮. We thank Mirte for her contributions over the past decade and congratulate her on reaching this milestone. 🙌

Last week, high-heat tanker 𝗜𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 arrived in Dordrecht (NL) with a cargo of bitumen from La Coruna in Spain. Since Dordrecht is the hometown of Vroon CEO 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗷𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗻, it was too good an opportunity to be missed! 😊
