CHC? AW139 in Den Helder?

From LinkedIn:
A photo of road transport of a AW139 Coastguard helicopter delivered from UK to Den Helder Netherlands. Would be for CHC?
Anybody knows more:
Indeed CHC?
Registration/ serial?
Purpose?
Why not flown in?

Cheers SLB

Possibly/probably one of the ex UK Coastguard contract aircraft.

Thanks,
Does that mean that it is to be repaired to get into flying condition or is this already prepared for further transport? (Partial preservation I guess?)

Cheers SLB

No repair required. Some maintenance and modifications.

It will be "shipped" to Australia, not flown.
