Queen Máxima christens new Sea Ranger Service vessel
Regal reception for new Sea Ranger vessel!
On Wednesday April 2, 2025 Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands christened the new Sea Ranger Service ship SRS Janet Taylor in the Port of Rotterdam. We are proud to have provided finance and support for this innovative new vessel, together with PDENH and Triodos Bank.
The ship is equipped for hydrographic surveys, wreck monitoring, environmental sampling and other conservation and monitoring missions. As one of the first times a sailing vessel has been used for such a role, the SRS Janet Taylor marks a major milestone in sustainable seaborne monitoring and support.
The ship will additionally be used to undertake the training of young Sea Rangers in line with the organisation’s goals. The Sea Ranger Service is a social enterprise offering unique training and employment opportunities to young people. Over the course of a year, the young Sea Rangers will sail aboard the vessel for two weeks at a time, gaining the skills necessary to embark upon a maritime career.
The SRS Janet Taylor is named after the renowned 19th century British mathematician, astronomer and navigation expert in recognition of her innovative work in improving maritime navigation.
