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 Multi Cat 2712 is the second contract for this new type in the Damen Multi Cat Series, It measures 27 meters in length and 12 meters in width. 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 new vessel, to be named MarineCo Havanah, after the arrival of Conafray’s twin granddaughters Ava and Hannah, will join MarineCo’s existing all-Damen Fleet.
Damen has a long standing relationship with MarineCo, previously delivering high speed support vessels, Multiple FCS 2610 Twin Axes, a Damen Stan Tug 2608, Multi Cats and Damen Shoalbusters to the offshore industrial company.
