Dutch shipyard Neptune Marine completed its contribution to the conversion of an inland vessel. The conversion has taken place at Neptune Marine’s shipyard in Hardinxveld, located on the borders of the Merwede river.
Motor freighter to inland combination
In 2008 the 135 meter inland motor freighter was renamed Amoureus. After numerous years, the owner started thinking about the conversion of the vessel into a combination vessel. Despite the critical view of the industry, calling the idea not possible, the development started in 2018 in collaboration with various subcontractors, including Neptune Marine.
During the summer of 2020 the inland vessel was carefully cut in two parts at Neptune’s shipyard in Hardinxveld, after which both parts have been combined with a newbuild part. The initial aft ship has been coupled to a new fore ship, whilst the fore ship has been turned into a push barge on the slipway. The total combination now covers a length of 172 meters.
