The RO units are to be installed aboard two diving support barges currently under construction in the Holland Shipyards’ site in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, the Netherlands. Each unit will provide drinking water at a capacity rate of up to 6 m3 per day. Upon completion, the barges will operate along the Gabon coast.


Holland Shipyard has previously ordered Hatenboer-Water RO units for their Tridens project and Caspian Sea accommodation barges. The two Tethys units are scheduled for deployment in August and September.
