Shipyard De Hoop launches patrol vessel pair

Shipyard De Hoop has launched two patrol vessels in a series for an unnamed owner.

Named YN.457 and YN.459, the newbuildings use the same hull design as that of one of Shipyard De Hoop's standby and emergency vessel series.

Both vessels will be used for monitoring the national waters of West Africa following their planned delivery at the end of October 2019.
