Vision Doeve Brokers

Former inland freighter that probably sailed as a tanker for N.V. U. Twijnstra's Oliefabriek from NL-Akkrum. After she left commercial shipping, the tank head was raised and a wheelhouse was installed. The current owners have sailed the ship from the North of The Netherlands to the Mediterranean and back to Belgium again. This to their full satisfaction. In the past few years, a Ford Mermaid diesel has been installed and solar panels, an inverter and a battery charger have been purchased. With her silhouette she is a special appearance that due to circumstances has some overdue maintenance. In our eyes a Dutch Barge for someone with 2 right hands who restores the ship back into her former glory.
