World Wide Supply Orders Four Damen 3300 series PSVs
Norwegian World Wide Supply (WWS) has ordered four PSV 3300 CDs with Damen Shipyards. 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. All four vessels will be built at Damen Shipyards Galati, Romania. The first vessel delivery is scheduled for early 2013, the last one for the end of 2013.
WWS will enter into a management agreement for the newbuilds with Remøy Management AS (Fosnavag, Norway). According to a statement issued by Remoy Management the vessel order represents a contract value of EUR 95 million.
Dedicated Offshore Supplier
The PSV 3300 CD was launched at Europort last November and is the result of a dedicated design and research process for a new type of offshore supplier: a real workhorse with good seakeeping qualities, less need for maintenance and reduced emission levels. The vessels are built according to the highest environmental and safety standards and with an eye for crew comfort. The 80m vessel has a large, 720-sq.m main deck, improved speed performance with the same engine size compared to her predecessors and incorporates proven technology and components of Damen’s other PSV series.
Design Input
A unique eye-catching design, with a well-designed, sleek bow makes the PSV 3300 E3 a distinctive vessel. Damen benefited from design input from its Norwegian client WWS and from operational studies carried out on Damen PSVs operating in the North Sea and in Brazilian waters. The result is a vessel with very little slamming, and improved comfort and safety for the crew, vessel and cargo.
