In the heart of the North Dutch maritime cluster, another milestone has been reached in the construction of the EasyMax 4 vessel at the Niestern Sander shipyard. On this next generation vessel, built for the shipping company Wagenborg, the bridge deck was installed safe and successfully. This milestone not only marks a crucial moment in the shipbuilding process, but also underlines the seamless cooperation and dedication of our people in realising future-proof solutions.
Today the foreship of the new building EasyMax 4 has been transported successfully to the quayside at Royal Niestern Sander. This transport has been safely executed by the heavy transport experts of Wagenborg Nedlift by using Self Propelled Modular Trailers (SPMTs).
After delivery in January the m.v. Amalia - the latest sustainable MPP vessel in the Wagenborg fleet – left her home port Delfzijl for her first voyages. Under command of captain Joenamar S. Bacuetes the first voyages have been completed successfully.
Recently, the first sections of the fourth EasyMax have been transported from the construction hall to the quay side at shipyard Royal Niestern Sander. With this transport the shape of the vessel becomes visible again.
Today we celebrate the 100 year partnership between Wagenborg and Pot Shipping. In 5 February 1924 the first sea charter of Wagenborg was concluded. This voyages enclosed a load of roof tiles and was performed with Daniël Pot’s vessel ‘Weldaad’.
In this edition of the EasyMax Journal, Captain Erik Rosner explains the various tests conducted during a trial voyage. Maritime Surveyor Hendrik Jan Postel from the classification Bureau Veritas records everything for certification, while Contract Manager Maurice Stokhof de Jong monitors whether everything functions in practice as planned and agreed upon.
The third EasyMax - under construction at Royal Niestern Sander as yard number 852 - has salt water under the keel for the first time after being transported from the ship yard to its home port Delfzijl.
