On December 8, 2023, Vroon proudly celebrated the naming of its latest fleet member, the VOS Stone, during a special ceremony held in Rotterdam. The vessel was officially named by Mrs. Ingrid van Driel, the Vroon Group Controller, marking a milestone for the maritime provider. The VOS Stone is an advanced subsea-support walk-to-work vessel, joining her sister ship, VOS Start, which is currently active at the Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm located in the Irish Sea. Both vessels have been meticulously designed to facilitate offshore operations in the renewable energy sector, as well as walk-to-work projects in the oil and gas industry. VOS Stone was built by Fujian Southeast Shipbuilding in China and was delivered to Vroon in July 2017. Following essential final outfitting in the Netherlands, the vessel is now fully equipped and ready to begin operations in the North Sea.

The VOS Stone was delivered in July 2017 by Fujian Southeast Shipbuilding in China and is currently finishing its outfitting in The Netherlands, preparing for deployment in the North Sea from November 2017. This state-of-the-art vessel boasts a 50-ton active-heave-compensated crane and a motion-compensated gangway that facilitates the safe transfer of personnel offshore. Furthermore, it meets the SPS notation requirements and accommodates up to 60 passengers in its comfortable office and recreational spaces, exemplifying its commitment to providing safe, efficient, and versatile support to both the Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas sectors.
