Multi Aqua Culture Support Vessels
Special Purpose Pontoon
Merwede Maritime Technologies Special Purpose Pontoon is a 101 feet (31 meter), non-propelled platform designed especially for the mounting and efficient operation of fish delousing equipment. It has a minimal environmental footprint and is laid out so that the fish handling operations and the control of ship’s systems can be performed by a single operator.
Short delivery times our speciality
While proven designs, skilled craftsmanship and high-quality components and equipment ensure excellent reliability and minimal downtime, our integrated production process also delivers short delivery times.
