Design philosophy of the Maasvliet
The Maasvliet was the first in a series of five vessels for Hudig & Veder. The other four vessels in the series are also built according to the CIP3800 platform, but serve as general cargo vessels rather than cable recovery vessels.
The CIP3800 series demonstrates forward-thinking design principles with its future-fuel ready capabilities, allowing for potential conversion to alternative fuels. The vessel can also be prepared for battery hybrid installation, showcasing its adaptability to emerging maritime propulsion technologies. This standardized design approach offers the advantages of reduced delivery time while maintaining cost-effectiveness, making it an attractive solution for operators looking to modernize their fleet.
''Maasvliet demonstrates hwo modern diesel-electric design can fundamentally improve submarine cable recovery operations, delivering major gains in fuel efficiency, crew welfare, operational flexibility, and environmental sustainability.''
Since her launch, the Maasvliet has gained international recognition for her outstanding performance. During the design phase, we estimated a 40% reduction in fuel usage. After 12 months of activity the numbers show an even greater reduction in fuel usage compared to a conventional cable recovery vessel.
