DELIVERY OF A RANGE STAN TUGS, TYPE STU 1606

摘要

Dredging company Jan De Nul can clearly see the benefits of the Damen Stan Tug 1606-often dubbed the workhorse of the industry - with 11 Stan Tugs joining its fleet in the last few years. In 2008, Jan De Nul placed an order for five additional Stan Tugs and this followed soon after another order in 2007 when the Belgian firm ordered six Stan Tugs, as well as four Damen Fast Crew Suppliers. To be delivered over a period of 18 months, the five latest vessels have all been built at Albwardy Marine Engineering in Dubai, one of Damen's joint venture shipyards in the Middle East. With a Bollard Pull in excess of 15 tonnes and a speed of 11 knots, the vessels are well equipped for assisting big hopper and cutter dredgers in many different operations.
