The VSP pontoons are Van Schie’s own innovation and distinguish themselves in the field of certification and a unique and efficient coupling system.
Many interested parties attended the event this weekend. The guests were received in a specially built arena of VSP pontoons. The highlight was definitely the official unveiling of the 500th VSP770 pontoon and the introduction of the new VSP1250 model. With lots of light, sound and smoke, this new type was presented in the rotating welding robot after the curtain fell.
European certification
One of the reasons for the development of the VSP pontoons by Van Schie was the introduction of new European legislation for the use of coupling pontoons. The VSPs are fully DNV certified and therefore meet all applicable standards. But certified pontoons alone are not enough.
A certificate for the created assembly of pontoons, such as a work island, is also required to carry out work on the water. Van Schie is one of the few in the Netherlands that can quickly make these approved pontoon formations available for equipment and also provide all necessary certificates, calculations and documentation.
