Last week, the new patrol ship “Holland” was transferred to the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) in the port of Scheveningen. Four signatures were placed by the director of Damen Schelde Naval Shipyard (DSNS) to transfer ‘the ship of the future’. Daily management of the vessel is taken care of by the Royal Netherlands Navy.

“Some really hard work was put into the effort to finish the “Holland” on time,” said Hein van Ameijden , director of DSNS . “Over the last few months, everyone here at DSNS, but also the ship’s commander and crew, worked around the clock to deliver a good product. I wish you a great deal of pleasure and success with the Holland. ”
