At Fassmer, we are proud to mark another major milestone in the construction of Fassmer’s ORV100 hydrographic vessel for the Indonesian Navy BHO project.

Over the past days, our team – together with our partners from ABEKING & RASMUSSEN Schiffs- und Yachtwerft SE – successfully completed the Roll-On and Transfer of the vessel with the barge BHV INNOVATION. 

Now, the project has reached its next decisive step: the Float-Out of the hydrographic vessel is currently in progress at Neustädter Hafen in Bremen.

▪️ Day 1: The barge was transferred from Vegesack to Lemwerder and positioned with the support of several tugboats in the narrow yacht harbour.

▪️ Day 2: The vessel was carefully rolled onto the barge using SPMTs and secured according to the lashing plan – a precise operation that had to be completed within the tidal window.

▪️ Day 3: Transport to Bremen and the Float-Out of the hydrographic vessel at Neustädter Hafen. With the barge being submerged and the tide rising, the vessel will float free for the very first time.

This operation underlines the excellent teamwork and coordination of all parties involved – on the water, on the quay and on board. Another important step towards the delivery of this impressive vessel to the Indonesian Navy.
