We have also been very happy with the cooperation with Damen on the build and with the quality and construction undertaken by the yard in Galati.”
The 80.1m length PSV 3300 has a deck load of 1,500 tonnes will undertake crew and materials transport to and from offshore platforms but also offers fire-fighting and oil pollution recovery capability.
