Ready for the Tagus: FRS Portugal Ship Arrives in Lisbon

On the evening of August 15, 2024, the new FRS Portugal ship arrived at the port of Lisbon. After a multi-day journey from Mukran to Lisbon aboard the crane vessel "Eemslift Hendrika," the ship has reached its new home and is being prepared for its upcoming tasks.

Shortly after arriving in Lisbon, the ship was carefully unloaded from the "Eemslift Hendrika" and lowered into the waters of the Tagus for the first time. This significant moment marked the ship's first contact with its new operational area on the Tagus.

Currently, final preparations are being carried out in the port to get the ship ready for its new tasks on the Tagus. This includes final fittings and comprehensive inspections to ensure that the ship is in pristine condition when it soon starts carrying its first passengers. The goal of these preparations is to adapt the ship to the specific requirements of the Tagus and ensure an outstanding experience for passengers.

In the coming days, the ship will undergo several test runs on the Tagus to familiarize itself with the functionality of the technical systems and the new route. These tests aim to guarantee smooth operation and the highest safety standards.

The first official passenger voyages of the new FRS Portugal ship on the Tagus are scheduled for August 30, 2024. This day will be a significant moment for FRS Portugal, as the ship will be officially put into service.
