MarineCo Orders New Damen Workboat

MarineCo UK  has contracted Damen Shipyards Group for a Multi Cat 2712 vessel to be delivered in April 2015.

The vessel is equipped with two engines and has a maximum bollard pull of 35 metric tons. Because of its measurements, the Multi Cat 2712 is a vessel that can be used for many purposes. A decision about the working area of the Multi Cat will be made later. Mike Conafray, Managing Director at MarineCo stated that Damen came through with the right vessel at the right cost after a long evaluation with alternative builders.

The ‘Marineco Thunderbird’ is UK-based Marineco’s fourth FCS 2610 Twin Axe to join its windfarm support fleet of vessels. Marineco was the first customer to buy one of these vessels nearly two and a half years ago, based on a design for an Offshore and Offshore Wind support vessel which Damen really believed in. The recent purchase of Thunderbird, Damen say, is proof of the concept and its future. Siemens will be deploying Thunderbird off the west coast of England, where it will be used to perform installation and maintenance work for Walney Offshore Windfarms.

The Marineco Thunderbird is U.K.-based Marineco’s fourth FCS 2610 Twin Axe. Siemens will be deploying Thunderbird off the west coast of England, at the same latitude as Barrow, where it will be used to perform installation and maintenance work for Walney Offshore Windfarms. The vessel’s superstructure is spacious, offering sleeping accommodation (four two-person cabins) and making it possible for the crew to stay on-site for longer periods of time. The FCS 2008, a smaller version of the FCS 2610 with lower fuel consumption, will be introduced on the market in the summer of 2013.
