Wednesday evening I made a small visit to Offshore Support Vessel NOORTRUCK at the Innerharbour of Vlissingen. This on invitation of Torsten Feldmann and Captain Jan Conrads of Bitunamel Feldman, the owner of the NOORTRUCK. Many thanks for the invitation. Due to the COVID-19 rules only a visit to the deck was possible, which I fully can understand. I made some pics from the deck, from the outside and the departure to the locks and leaving of the locks on her way to the UK.
The NOORTRUCK was at Vlissingen to be prepared for her work at he UK, her working area will be the East Coast UK for the cable route Viking Link. She will be used for UXO detection (Unexploded Ordnance).
