Na vele jaren activiteit vanop Den Helder
kreeg NHV / Dancopter bij haar laatste off-shore vlucht vanop de bekendste helihaven van Nederland,
een eresaluut door de brandweer.

Op 31 december 2019 liep het offshore contract van NHV vanop Den Helder ten einde
en moest de onderneming met spijt in het hart
afscheid nemen van een basis die ze lange jaren als Dancopter en nadien NHV heeft gebruikt.

So how are the SAR-duties covered from now on? Dutch Navy NH90 taking over or another civil contractor?

SAR duties is still being done by NHV, as
https://helispot.nl/hs/page/detail.asp? ... ub=logboek
shows.

But regular flying to and from oil-platforms and the like/offshore flights is now
no longer undertaken by NHV from Den Helder.

As for coastguard/SAR-duties, also read

Afgelopen woensdag 27 november 2019
stuurde Minister van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat, Cora van Nieuwenhuizen,
een brief aan de Tweede Kamer waarbij ze aangeeft
dat er een onderzoek is gestart naar de 'levering van de SAR helikopterdiensten'
omdat er op dit ogenblik onvoldoende zekerheid is over de SAR-dienstverlening.

De minister verwacht de Tweede Kamer begin 2020 te informeren over de uitkomsten van het onderzoek.

Things could become rather interesting in the run-up to the next tender/aanbesteding... :twisted:

No more trips to Den Helder then, till CHC acquires new choppers.
