CMM has taken delivery of a Damen Platform Supply Vessel 3300. The 80-metre, 3300 t deadweight vessel CMM Gravity will be deployed in the Brazilian waters from June 2014 on a four-plus-four year contract with Petrobras.
It is the yard’s seventh delivery of Damen’s new mid-size PSV 3300 design. This vessel will be compliant to Petrobras specifications, including Petrobras Annex V.
Main Characteristics
Next to the 728 m² deck with a 1500-tonne deck load capacity, the vessel will feature extensive tank capacities to handle different types of fluids and bulk. The vessel has a DP2 system which relies on four generator sets, two Azimuth thrusters and two bow thrusters.
The 14-knot, 16,2-metre wide (moulded) vessel will be LR-classified for worldwide deployment. The most remarkable feature includes the bulb-less axe bow as developed by Damen, and the bright red that CMM has selected for its corporate colour.
When CMM’s vessel will be deployed in June 2014, there will be over twenty Damen-designed Offshore Support Vessels operating for Petrobras in the Brazilian waters.
