Order for new PSV 3300 series

The PSV 3300 CD, built according to Damen’s E3 principles, is a newly designed platform supply vessel for servicing oil and gas rigs worldwide and is specifically designed to perform safely and economically in adverse weather conditions. The 80m-long vessel has a large, 720m² main deck and incorporates proven technology and components of Damen’s other PSV series, according to the shipyard. Damen said it had benefited from design input from its Norwegian client WWS and from operational studies carried out on Damen PSV’s operating in the North Sea and in Brazilian waters. The result is said to be a vessel with very little slamming, and improved comfort and safety for the crew, vessel and cargo.
All four vessels will be built at Damen Shipyards Galati, Romania.
The delivery of the first vessel is scheduled for the beginning of 2013.
