Kaieteur News – The Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc. saw the docking and offloading of the first commercial vessel at its Shorebase facility on Sunday.
The M.V. Virtuous Striker became the first commercial vessel to dock the newly constructed man-made island and at the same time was registered as the longest vessel, at over 190 meters, to ever enter the Demerara River Channel, the Shorebase said.
Additionally, with a cargo of over 26,900 metric tonnes, it was also one of the largest payloads to ever be offloaded. The docking and offloading of the vessel mark a major milestone for the 44-acre facility which will primarily serve as a shorebase for Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) projects.
According to Mr. Nicholas Deygoo, “We are very proud of this milestone as it takes us closer to becoming fully operational.”
Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc. is a joint venture between NRG Holdings Inc.—a 100 percent Guyanese-owned consortium that is the majority shareholder –and Jan De Nul, a Belgium international maritime infrastructure company.
