Looks unaltered from a year ago on Google streetview:

It has been pointed out that in 2015 she was used as a floating gallery at NDSM (as in the Feb 2015 photos):

Like sisko111, I wonder whether there is indeed a Vroon connection. We don't really know what name she has now (if any), so best stick with last known, VENTURE.

The name states VENTUR not VENTURE. The additional forward porthole has replaced the last letter "e", that's why it wasn't clear.

While zooming you may easy see the name on bow- VENTURE

My first thought is that this is a new ship for VROON. The same gray color and white letter V on the hull. Like their livestock carriers. Cheers :-)

If this ship is the former Venture, someone did a lot of renovation work

I agree Darren - as Venture it had been abandoned at Amsterdam for a number of years (though I don't believe it was ever a 'wreck'). It is definitely the same ship:

My guess is that it is undergoing conversion to a private yacht.

A search of the IMO also brings up "KOS VENTURER".
Don't know if this is a former name of Venture ?

On closer examination and enlargement of my original photo, the letters "ventur" can be seen immediately to the left of the first porthole. I therefore bekieve this vessel to be the former Venture IMO 7711440.
The vessel appears to be undergoing a conversion and the portholes have been changed from square to round, and further metal work added to the bow section.
Venture is listed under both catergories of wreck/relic and guard/safety/recue vessel so I presume she has been salvaged at some time.
Is anyone in agreement with this ?
I look forward to your comments. Thanks in advance.
