26m Damen Twin Axe catamaran for UK-based Severn Offshore Services
Today the naming ceremony took place for Severn Offshore Services Ltd’s new multipurpose wind farm vessel Severn Provider at Damen Shipyards Gorinchem in the Netherlands. Following sea trials next week, the Damen FCS 2610 will be available for charter based out of Rotterdam.
UK-based Severn Offshore Services owns and operates a growing fleet of offshore crew transfer vessels, mainly in the European offshore wind sector. The company selected Damen’s FCS 2610 thanks to its well-established track record, explains Director Ryan Hopkins.
“With this vessel, we can offer higher availability rates to our clients through its ability to operate 24 hours a day further offshore with less downtime caused by the weather. Working with Damen has been a really good experience and we’re planning to continue growing our fleet with Damen.”
Enhanced crew safety and personnel welfare
Severn Offshore Services puts a particularly strong focus on safety, Hopkins continues, so it was important that Damen could integrate key specifications into the design.
