Damen delivers its biggest Shoalbuster

摘要

Dutch towage provider Van Wijngaarden Marine Services BV has now taken delivery of what is the largest Damen Shoalbuster to date, the 3512 marque Noordstroom. Work on designing Noordstroom started at Damen's Hardinxveld facility back in February 2015 and Tugs & Towing has been reporting progress since. Final delivery and naming therefore brings to fruition a project which has produced a versatile and capable vessel with special provision made to keep the draught to a minimum for what is a substantial vessel of 35m length, 12m beam and 56tbp with a resultant minimum draught aft of just 2.9m.
