The DSV’s/crane vessels Smit Waalhaven 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 24 are outfittedwith all materials so that they can perform any task quickly, efficiently, andexpertly. The same applies to our tender/inspection vessels, our floatingderrick Poseidon and our spud pole pontoons. 

These units of our fleet also meet all safety requirements, making itpossible for us to use them for work for the petrochemical industry.

Another indispensable tool in our work are our transportable decompressionunits. These units are required for repairs or work at a depth of 15 metres ormore, the so-called decompression depth.
