Catamaran Ferries, Holland
VID FIREKILL has supplied the fire protection for the two catamaran ferries Willem Barentsz and Willem De Vlamingh which are owned by Dutch Rederij Doeksen and operate within The Wadden Sea. To reduce the environmental impact of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ferries were designed around the principles of sustainability and green transportation, and to operate solely on liquefied natural gas.
To maintain the green principles as well as lowering the installation and maintenance costs the VID FIREKILL low pressure watermist systems were chosen as the fire protection for the two vessel’s seating areas, car decks, and machinery rooms.
