IPA is proud to be part of the Dutch emergency relief effort in the Caribbean. The Netherlands sends the Joint Logistic Support Ship Zr.Ms. Karel Doorman to the Caribbean to support it after Hurricane Irma. The ship is primarily used for strategic sea transport of equipment and auxiliaries. On board of the marine vessel Zr.Ms. Karel Doorman are tipper trucks, water tankers, excavators, forklift trucks and chloride supplied by IPA.
According to the current schedule, Karel Doorman will head for St. Maarten on Wednesday, September 20, arriving approximately two weeks later.
The Royal Army forces over 100 soldiers for emergency rescue. These reconstruction team genists will assist in taking emergency relief services. This provides the basis for future structural recovery work.
