The Zr. Ms. Luymes (A803) is a hydrographic survey vessel (HOV) of the Royal Netherlands Navy. The Luymes has one sister ship, Zr.Ms. Snellius (A802).
The vessels were designed in the Netherlands. They were built by Damen Shipyards Group where the hull was built in Galați (Romania), and the outfitting was done in Vlissingen.[3]
The ship is named after hydrographer Johan Lambertus Hendrikus Luymes (1869-1943), who was head of the Hydrographic Service from 1920 to 1934.
The current Luymes is the third hydrographic vessel of this name, but the first was never in service.
The ships have various tasks: mapping the sea, functioning as ships of the watch, flagging at home and abroad, assisting in Ministry of Defence maritime scientific research and assisting in calamities at sea.
