Specifications:

Engineering, modification and expansion of the electrical installation during the complete rebuild of the yacht.

Description:

In 2023, Balk Shipyard in Urk started one of the most complex rebuilds in its history: the 24-metre Ursus, built by Acico Yachts in 2016. Mulder Design redesigned the yacht using CFD calculations and extended her to just over 30 metres. Only the midsection of the hull was kept. The bow and stern were completely replaced.

Electroservice Urk was responsible for the electrical installation of the rebuilt vessel. The extension added many new systems, and each of them had to work reliably with the existing installation. These include diesel-electric azimuth propulsion, a new bow thruster, a dynamic positioning system, Furuno navigation and wing stations on both sides of the vessel.

The new bow has an extra crew cabin, a seating area and a twin anchor system. At the stern, Ursus gained a beach club and a relocated tender garage. She accommodates six guests in three cabins and is finished with FSC-certified teak and a striking ‘Batumi Gold’ hull.

Ursus was relaunched on 10 January 2025. She was handed over to her owner in early 2025, after sea trials.

Wheelhouse Renovation

Description:

At the beginning of 2022 we were allowed to start a complete renovation of the wheelhouse of the Bertus. The special thing about this job was that part of the work took place in Urk, and another part on location in Germany.

After the aluminum wheelhouse was welded by Hoekman, we were able to start laying cables and installing new cabinets in the platforms in collaboration with L Post and Zn. After a few weeks, the old up and down wheelhouse was disconnected in Brunsbüttel in 3 weeks and the new wheelhouse was installed. The installation has also been simplified and the up and down mast has been completely renewed with new LED lighting. All lighting has also been transferred from push buttons to a hypermodern touchscreen.

The Bertus is a plow boat that is part of Dutch Dredging, which together with the dredgers ensures that the North-East Sea Canal remains at sufficient depth for the large ships.
