(With video and extra pictures) A shipment that left China carrying thirteen new Damen Stan Pontoons and ten other Damen vessels has arrived in Rotterdam.
The pontoons and vessels are built for stock. Damen has sold 37 pontoons and barges in the last two years. Production has increased with an even larger amount of vessels currently under construction at four different yards in the Middle East, Vietnam and China.
Shipment
On the journey from Shanghai, the semi-submersible vessel Zhen Hua 29 also had room to transport a further six Stan Tugs and four Stan Tenders. Before reaching Europe, the ship stopped in West Africa to deliver a number of pontoons and tugs, which had already been sold to repeat clients while the vessel was en route.
The shipment carried eight different models from the range of Stan Pontoons, including Damen’s largest built-for-stock pontoon measuring 120 x 32.2 x 8.1 metres and has a deadweight of 20150 tonnes.
