Special project @ Shipyard De Hoop

By Shipyard De Hoop,

Tolkamer 02/05/2025 – It looks like a UFO has landed on our yard, but actually this is a basin for forest-firefighting. De Hoop’s long time supplier Buitink Technologies has developed this for one of their clients and needed some help with testing the basin. With a diameter of 20 meter, and a side-height of 4,5 meter this impressive waterbag holds over 1000m3 of water, quite a swimming pool indeed. Further models are expected to be tested in the near future.

The ship shall be executed as luxury charter vessel for up to 12 guests.
