Damen delivers Shoalbuster 3209 to Acta Marine
Damen delivers Shoalbuster 3209 to Acta Marine for Offshore Wind Farms, the company reports. The Coastal Voyager is planned to be deployed for offshore wind farm projects in the North Sea.
Acta Marine MD Govert-Jan van Oord says that it is possible to deploy the Shoalbuster anchor handling tug elsewhere, in case its assistance is needed. “End last year, early this year, we also bought three of these vessels from the existing Damen Marine Services charter fleet. The fourth one is newbuild. In fact it is the fifth of the series, as Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld delivered the Shoalbuster Coastal Vanguard December, 2010.”
Acta Marine can be considered as being one of the larger players worldwide in the dredging and marine contracting market, in the oil and gas industry and in the market for offshore wind. Its Shoalbusters 2609 are deployed in the Persian Gulf. The third of the series Shoalbuster 3209 – active in Singapore – and the new vessel are larger: 3,300 horsepower units and a Bollard Pull of 45-50 tonnes. These two vessels are the sister ships of the Coastal Vanguard.
