About this equipment

The vessel has been converted in 2010 at the Keppel shipyard from Taurus I into Taurus II  Sponsoons on each side of 2.5 m were added. In 2011 the vessel has been converted again and an extra dischargepump of 6000 kW was mounted on deck.
The infosheet  of Vuyk gives a loa of 138 m. - thats not correct.
