On Thursday afternoon, March 12, 2026, Queen Máxima christened the research vessel RV Anna Weber–van Bosse of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). The christening took place in the NIOZ harbor on Texel. The RV Anna Weber–van Bosse was designed to meet the future needs of the Dutch marine research community.
After the christening, Queen Máxima toured the ship. In the wheelhouse and in several laboratories, she met with members of the crew and with scientists who will use the vessel for their research activities. The new research vessel is nearly eighty meters long and operates with modular container laboratories, allowing different containers to be used depending on the type of research.
