(With extra pictures) De Haas Maassluis has delivered a new firefighting vessel to the "Veiligheidsregio Zuid-Holland Zuid" to be stationed in Dordrecht. Read all about it in SWZ Maritime's February issue.
The new firefighting vessel, named Zuid-Holland Zuid, had to be smaller and lighter as well as have a higher capacity, be faster, and sustainable when it came to emissions, noise and energy efficiency. The article depicts how these demands were met with a lot of contributions from local maritime suppliers and highlights the vessels innovative features, such as its specially designed fender by Fender Innovations.
