In October 1973, the station's contract with Radio Caroline was terminated, following the collapse of the mast on "Mi Amigo". The station acquired its own ship, naming it after van Landschoot's wife, the MS "Janine". Following three weeks of tests the station recommenced broadcasting on 30 December 1973. Both taped Flemish and mostly live English programmes were broadcast until the station was forced off the air by the Dutch Marine Offences Act. Radio Atlantis closed on the evening of 31 August 1974, the day before the act came into force. (Radio Veronica and Radio North Sea International also closed, though Radio Caroline and its new Belgian partner Radio Mi Amigo defied the act and remained on the air.)
