Braveheart Shipping orders new vessel with Javelin International
for windmill industry
Urk, 7 November 2011
Braveheart Shipping B.V. assigned Javelin International B.V. to build a new vessel, the Javelin 22.22. With this vessel, Braveheart is expanding its fleet necessary to extend its field of activity to Sea Area A3. “Both national and international clients are increasing the demand for offshore activities”, says Jelle Hakvoort, managing director of Braveheart Shipping.
The vessel will be 22.22 meters in length and equipped with engines of 2 x 1300 HP. The Javelin is exclusively designed to extend the field of activity and to be able to operate past the 200 mile zone. The stability, comfort and speed are the most important pillars of this vessel. The Javelin has been tested by the Marin Institute in Wageningen and calculated to optimize the stability (Roll and Pitch). The stabilization system has not been used in the offshore industry before.

The vessel is designed to be useful for survey and crew tendering activities as well as for the construction and maintenance of windmill parks.
“The choice for the Javelin was made because we can serve an entirely new market with this vessel: the construction and maintenance of windmill parks. The Javelin has qualities that have never been used in this market, such as the vessels stability, also with wave heights of 2-4 meters, the increase of the field of activity and the transfer of personnel to the windmills”, says Hakvoort. “This vessel is equipped with at least equal technology to vessels twice as long. The vessels equipment also offers provisions for non-stop service”. KD Workboats will build the Javelin 22.22. “Another advantage is that this company also has its registered office in Urk. Now we can follow the build from very close”, says Hakvoort.
The expected delivery time is planned in May 2012.
