Damen Shipyards has delivered a Multi Cat (MuC) 3113 to Leask Marine. The vessel was named C-Trojan in a handover ceremony at Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld’s location in the Netherlands. The MuC 3113 is a highly versatile vessel, purpose-built for Leask Marine’s requirements.
The company’s fleet includes a Damen MuC 2712, named C-Force. Thanks to its stock building programme, Damen delivered this vessel just six weeks following the signing of contract back in 2021. This speed of delivery was one of the reasons Leask Marine selected Damen for its latest vessel. On this occasion, Damen was able to use a proven stock hull to construct a custom vessel.

DP1 and new layout
Among other things, Damen has outfitted the MuC 3113 with a DP1 dynamic positioning system, as well as a four-point mooring system, and has amended the layout of the vessel. This has included creating a separation between working and accommodation areas to help ensure crew well-being.
Following the handover, C-Trojan is heading directly for its first project, the contract having been secured prior to the completion of construction.
