Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam is used as a base for final outfitting to TESO’s latest RoRo Ferry ‘Texelstroom’
TESO’s latest ferry ‘Texelstroom’ visited Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam (DSAm) for final outfitting and preparation for sea trials. The vessel was towed from Bilbao waters in Spain to the locks of Ijmuiden and then along the North Sea Canal to Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam where she was placed alongside lay-by berth no 2. Pressure tests were carried out to the stainless gas pipes, steel repairs and additions to the navigation mast were executed. In addition MDO tank 136 was cleaned. The yard provided staging, pontoons, a cherry picker and blind plates for the ventilation shaft.
‘Hotel’
In addition, DSAm provided berthing for a ‘hotel’ vessel near ‘Texelstroom’ that was used as accommodation for 60 Spanish subcontractor employees. These were arranged by LaNaval and tasked with painting the ferry, carrying out final electrical work, laying epoxy floors, fitting furniture and outfitting of the restaurant and kitchen. DSAm provided all necessary facilities including fresh water, electricity, fire lines and compressed air. The works took two weeks’ to implement.
‘Texelstroom’
‘Texelstroom’ will operate between Den Helder and the Dutch Island Texel. The ferry was constructed in LaNaval in Spain and is unique in that she will combine the several different energy sources to provide reliable, efficient power reducing her environmental impact in comparison with existing ferry technology. These energy sources include 700 solar panels, natural gas and low-sulphur diesel plus four large batteries. The ferry is able to accommodate 340 cars and 1,750 passengers.
