Walk to Work Vessel

Damen believes the W2W is unique in returning to the basic principles of designing a purpose-built vessel that addresses the deployment and retention of offshore support and maintenance engineers. The W2W vessel has on-site work and storage facilities plus accommodation for up to 40 maintenance personnel in single cabins, optional up to 72 in double cabins. It is able to stay out at sea for up to one month and features dynamic positioning (DP2).

Utility Vessels

The Utility Vessel Series complements Damen’s range of heavy duty workboats and offshore vessels. The UV Series is comprised of several designs that share the same basic principles: the ability to support a wide variety of light duty operations such as buoy laying, survey and research work, diving operations, lighthouse supply, fire-fighting, pollution control, fish farming and maintenance work. Some designs are more suitable for inshore work, others for coastal and offshore operations.

RSD Tug 2513

By applying our years of experience at Damen as a compact ASD Tug builder, we have developed the ultimate ship handling tool; the Damen RSD Tug Series. These tugs are built for optimal sailing, manoeuvring and assisting all types of vessel up to the largest VLCCs and container vessels in harbours and at terminals. There are three distinct designs in the series, with 50, 70 and 90 tonnes of bollard pull respectively.

ASD Tug 2810 Hybrid

This vessel has excellent seakeeping behaviour, superb manoeuvrability and outstanding towing characteristics. The state-of-the-art design incorporates the latest hull and skeg designs and the most recent developments in fender, fairlead and winch design.

Recently three Damen ASD 2810 Hybrid vessels were delivered to Royal Netherlands Navy.

Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat

The RHIB is designed for high-speed military and emergency operations in all waters. Speed and extreme maneuverability are the obvious criterion for the RHIB.
