Royal IHC and the Department of Material Maintenance (DMI) of the Royal Netherlands Navy signed a contract for the docking and repair of the Holland-class offshore patrol vessel HNLMS Groningen (P843).
The agreement was signed at a naval yard in Den Helder on 9 March 2021.

HNLMS Groningen is currently back in the Netherlands due to issues with the propeller shaft on the starboard side.
In late December 2020, the ship had to return from its deployment in the Caribbean. The NH90 military helicopter on board the Groningen was also taken back to Den Helder. The Royal Netherlands Navy said it had no replacement ship for the Caribbean operations and the Caribbean Coast Guard took over the tasks. This is because the Royal Netherlands Navy logistic support vessel HNLMS Pelikaan, which is permanently based at Curaçao, is not suitable for patrol work, the navy explained.
