MS Bellriva Review

Review of MS Bellriva

The vessel’s keel-laying ceremony took place on April 29, 1970. The riverboat (ENI number 07001702) was launched in 1971 under the name “MS Holland Emerald.” It was built by Damen Bodewes Shipyard in Millingen aan de Rijn, Netherlands, for the Holland River Line (a Rotterdam-based company). The ship’s naming ceremony was held on March 6, 1971. Since June 1971, the vessel has been operating on the Rhine River (including its tributaries) and the IJsselmeer (an inland bay in the Netherlands).

 

The ship is powered by two Volvo Penta marine diesel engines with a combined power output of 0.95 MW. The propulsion system includes one forward bow thruster and two aft fixed-pitch propellers.
