Order for next-generation Twin Axe FCS 2610

With the contract signed at the end of 2013, the construction of the new vessel began immediately, and the FCS is set to be delivered in October this year.
Introduced to the market in 2011, the Damen Twin Axe FCS 2610 has already established itself as “the industry standard” for the offshore wind market, capable of operating further offshore in rougher weather conditions, while ensuring safe transfer and vast cargo capacity, Damen said.
For the next-generation vessel, facilities for the technicians and the crew have been improved, with the addition of a pantry, changing room and a spare part area easily accessible at deck level. Furthermore, the operational capacity of the vessel has been upgraded by introducing modifications to bow thrusters and gearboxes. Eight CCTV cameras also give full coverage of the decks and vessel boundaries, which increases safety levels.
