Netherlands Navy HNLMS Den Helder Delivered

Damen handed over the combat support ship HNLMS Den Helder to the Netherlands Ministry of Defence's Materiel and IT Command at Den Helder in March 2025. The 179-metre, 20,000-tonne vessel was built largely at Damen's Galati yard in Romania before completion in the Netherlands, and restores an underway replenishment capability the Dutch fleet had lacked since the sale of HNLMS Amsterdam. She carries 7,600 cubic metres of diesel and 1,000 cubic metres of aviation fuel, two 40-tonne cranes, up to 24 containers and two NH90 helicopters.
