Royal feet on our gangway

On Wednesday October 10 at 4:15 pm the new pilot vessel Polaris was launched by our Dutch Queen Beatrix at the ‘Holland Amerikakade’ in Rotterdam.

The pilot vessels are being used for piloting ships to and from the ports of Rotterdam and the Dutch and Belgian ports on the Schelde river. The new pilot vessels are better suited for poor weather conditions. With these new vessels, the port authority is improving accessibility and contributing to the success of the seaports.

We delivered one of our gangways to the ‘Holland Amerikakade’ so the Queen could have a look aboard. We are proud that we contributed to this happy event and that we can say that our gangway has been walked on by royal feet.
