The VOS Aphrodite anchor handling tug supply vessel will join the VOS Appolo vessel in the Gulf of Suez. The client Gupco or Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company, is a joint venture between BP and Egypt’s national oil company EGPC.

The vessel will operate from Ras Shukeir port in Egypt. Both vessels are equipped with walk-to-work systems on port and starboard sides.

The 60 meters long VOS Aphrodite was built at the Fujian Shipyard in China, and delivered to Vroon in March 2011.
