Dokter Wagemaker
The flagship ‘Dokter Wagemaker’ has entered service in January 2006.
The vessel was named after the founder of Teso whose profession was to be a doctor. The ship was contracted by Damen Shipyards of Gorinchem(the Netherlands), built by Damen Shipyards Galatz, (Rumania), and completed by Royal Schelde Yards at Flushing, (the Netherlands).
The ‘Dokter Wagemaker’ is larger than previous vessels, and therefore the total capacity of the service has increased.
