The Vox Ariane was christened back in June 2022 and has already been successfully deployed on several projects. On 14 March, the vessel will be christened in Rotterdam. The vessel then travelled to the Netherlands for dredging trials. The Vox Apolonia was built at the Keppel Singmarine Pte Ltd shipyard in Singapore and delivered to Van Oord in December. It is precisely for this reason that the three vessels won the Dutch KVNR Shipping Award in November 2022. These three new LNG vessels have a significantly lower carbon footprint than conventional trailing suction hopper dredgers and fit in with Van Oord’s aim of making its fleet more economical and sustainable. The state-of-the-art Vox Apolonia and its two sister vessels, Vox Ariane and Vox Alexia, boost the mid-class section of Van Oord’s fleet of trailing suction hopper dredgers. SWZ|Maritime was given a sneek preview with a tour of the vessel a day before. Today (14 March), Van Oord’s second dual-fuel LNG-powered trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Apolonia in a series of three will be christened.
