摘要

Damen has begun work on the latest, and one of the largest models yet. in its popular, shallow draft Shoalbuster range. Ordered by Van Wijngaarden Marine Services, the Shoalbuster 3512 is 35 metres in length, has a draft of 2.9 metres and GRT of 498 tonnes. The completely new design is said to bring a range of benefits, including a larger bridge, an extensive working deck of 134m2 and accommodation for up to 11 personnel. The propulsion system is based on three engines delivering 2910 bKW at 1800 rpm. with the middle engine configured to supplement the twin gensets when additional power is required by hydraulic deck gear such as the crane and winch, and also the bow thruster.
