Vroon expands its fleet
Following the successful completion of Vroon’s restructuring last year, the focus has now switched to strengthening, expanding and renewing our presence in the markets where we excel. Throughout the restructuring, our modern and well-maintained vessels have continued to provide safe and valued services to clients around the globe. Building on promising markets in all segments, we look forward to rolling out our strategy.
In line with this strategy, we are, therefore, proud to announce the acquisition of a new vessel to strengthen the fleet. At the end of December, we finalised the purchase of MV Aurochs from the Tsuneishi Group. MV Aurochs, the 13th vessel in our livestock fleet, has been renamed Friesian Express and will be managed by our Livestock Express team. Purpose-built in 2017, and the youngest livestock carrier operating in the global market, she has just departed from Australia on her maiden voyage under our ownership. We are delighted to officially welcome Friesian Express to our fleet, and wish both vessel and crew safe and successful voyages for their clients.
Vroon’s CEO Martijn Schouten says, “As an internationally renowned shipping company, Vroon’s goal is to build further on our solid base and decades of experience, focussing on what we do best - delivering operational excellence in niche markets. Together with our shareholders and lenders, we look forward to taking more such positive steps in the coming period.“
