The delivery of the "Simon Stevin" is expected for halfway 2012, whereupon the ship will operate from the harbour of Ostend (Belgium) to perform scientific cruises, organised by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in partnership with the Flemish shipowner DAB Fleet. The ship is more than 36m long, 9.4m wide and draws 3 meter. More images of the construction and launch can be found in the VLIZ photo gallery > R/V Simon Stevin. |
