Vroon Offshore Services Company Overview VOS (Vroon Offshore Services) is a leading maritime offshore-services supplier. Vroon has been active in this business for more than 45 years. The geographical focus is primarily in the North Sea, Mediterranean and South-East Asia. VOS has offices in Aberdeen, Great Yarmouth, Den Helder, Genoa and Singapore. VOS operates over 100 vessels in four main categories; platform supply vessels (PSV), anchorhandling tug supply vessels (AHTS), Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRV), and Subsea-support vessels. In addition, a wide range of additional offshore services, such as seismic / survey support, maintenance and scientific support, are offered on a worldwide basis. Over 50 new vessels have been delivered to the fleet since 2007, while older vessels have been divested. The fleet renewal will continue in the years to come. This fleet versatility means we are able to fulfil customer requirements in the fields of oil drilling and production and offshore construction and maintenance work.

Vroon Offshore Services Ltd. – Aberdeen Vroon Offshore Services Ltd (VOSL) is located in Aberdeen, United Kingdom. The company operates a diverse fleet of circa 50 Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRV) and with a market share of 40%, is the largest owner for ERRV services on the UK continental shelf and the Irish Sea. A major part of the fleet has cargo-carrying capabilities, while some vessels have towage and tanker-assist features. The company has its own rescue-craft maintenance workshop in Montrose, Scotland. Deeside Guernsey Ltd. are the employers of the crew who serve on the vessels which are operated and managed by Vroon Offshore Services Ltd. Crewing support is provided by Deeside Crewing Services Ltd., located in Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth, United Kingdom. The shore-based companies jointly employ approximately 70 employees. There are approximately 1,300 seagoing staff.
New Builds Vroon Offshore Services (VOS) has launched a 10 vessel new build programme worth more than $100 million. The new “comfort class” boats – six 50m ERRV’s and four 60m ERRV field support vessels – will be built in Nanjing and Fujian in China under Vroon’s supervision and support a new wave-piercing bow shape, designed in Singapore by the group. Both have full redundancy, daughter and fast rescue-craft. All have been designed with two winch areas so full deck space can be used for cargo operations – especially on the 60m units, which will have 300sq.m of deck space and around 500cu.m of fuel and water tankage available. The field support / ERRV’s will also have DP2 positioning.
