The Thunderbird 4 is a 24/7 deployable work vessel specially adapted for ship cleaning activities in Dutch and Belgian seaports. The work is carried out in petroleum harbours, among other places.

Shortening of the vessel

Several major adjustments are carried out in this conversion, like shortening the vessel’s length by 8 m to 64,89 m in our dry dock facility.

Scope of the project

The rest of this project’s scope included the renewal of the accommodations and the wheelhouse, the installation of a service crane and service winch on deck and the modification of the cargo hold.

Several technical spaces have been constructed for housing filtering installation, control room, engine and stores. We also took care of the complete electrical installation, piping, HVAC and the installation of a 296 kVA Volvo Penta generator for powering of the robotic cleaning operation.
