The vessel has been used in high-profile salvage and dredging operations including the investigation into the Swissair Flight 111 crash[1] and in the Port Phillip Channel Deepening Project.

The ship has three hopper discharge options of pumping ashore by pipeline, dumping through bottom doors or rainbowing.

During the Swissair Flight 111 salvage operation, a mixture of sea water, silt and aircraft pieces was pumped out of the Atlantic Ocean.

Queen of the Netherlands has worked on various projects in Singapore, Daya Bay in China, port construction in Busan South Korea, Dubai, the Port Phillip Channel Deepening Project in Australia and island creation / land reclamation The Maldives.

She has a sister ship called Fairway, which, like Queen of the Netherlands was also lengthened for land reclamation projects in the Far East.
