Delta Marine and the Damen Shipyards Group have developed a new vessel design, a Damen Renewables Service Vessel 3315.
The Scotland-based offshore wind service provider recently awarded Damen a construction contract looking towards a launch in early 2017. Damen created the vessel based on concepts submitted by Delta Marine. The new design has evolved from a MultiCat. The wheelhouse was moved forward to create an open aft deck. The vessel was kept under the 500-tonne mark to keep costs low.

The Renewables Service Vessel 3315 will be able to take on a lot of the work larger offshore construction vessels currently perform. It has DP2 capability and due to its deck space, it can carry a cable lay carousel, work class ROVs or cable trenching machines. The vessel will also be fitted with two large HS Marine cranes and a 4-point mooring system.
Following fabrication of the hull in Poland, Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld in the Netherlands will complete the final outfitting process.
