A Vroon platform supply vessel (PSV) has helped provide scientists with data on the level of emissions in the North Sea.

Over the summer, the 3,300-dwt Pool Express (built 2008) supported the Netherlands Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Association (NOGEPA) on a project to measure and assess greenhouse gas and methane emissions in the North Sea.

Under the Offshore CH4 Campaign 2018, scientists from independent Netherlands-based research organisation TNO joined representatives from Total and ECN, the Dutch energy research centre, on board Pool Express.
