With a first Sustainability report, JR Shipping and SeaZip Offshore Service show that they dare to commit themselves to ambitious goals in the field of sustainability, responsible employment practices and social cohesion, and decent governance.

SeaZip is expanding its fleet with the acquisition of a 24 PAX CTV from shipping company Groen. Jan Reier Arends, Managing Owner of SeaZip, speaks of a golden opportunity because it concerns a young vessel that is in new condition.

The performance of both container feeder vessels and offshore service vessels was excellent in 2022. JR Shipping took structural steps to realise sustainable sailing and opened the door for the next generation of container feeder vessels with its ECO Feeder programme. This is borne out by the JR Shipping Report 2022 that has just been published.

As of 10 Juni 2022, SeaZip has two additional CTVs available for the offshore energy industry. The water jet propulsion vessels are ideally suited for O&M services in and from shallow draft harbours. They are an efficient addition to the SeaZip fleet that underwent a major upgrade at the beginning of this year.

SeaZip Offshore Service is adding two crew transfer vessels to its fleet, which are eminently deployable in and from shallow draft harbours. Main characteristics of SeaZip 7 & 8: water jet propulsion, 24 PAX, solid track record, high performance.

As of March 1, 2022, SeaZip crew transfer vessels can accommodate 24 passengers. The conversion from 12 PAX to 24 PAX will take place during the winter break, in combination with regular maintenance. The renewed 24 PAX vessels will still sail under the Dutch flag, which is an advantage when deployed in EU projects.

Coastwise Offshore Services and Next Generation Shipyards finalized a newbuilding order for a third 30 IP Monomaran Crewtender. The energy-efficient vessel of the Endurance class NG2727, will be delivered at the end of 2022 and then sail as COS Mariner.

Safety First is the motto of the maritime service that carries out the SeaZip Offshore Service for the offshore energy industry. In the face of Covid-19, there’s an additional health factor. The company is taking all measures required to guarantee the safety and health of passengers and crew members.

On Tuesday, 3 november , a 2nd contract for the building of a new, energy-efficient and fuel-saving aluminium vessel for the offshore wind-industry was signed. The signing took place at Next Generation Shipyards in Lauwersoog.
