On January 18th, 2013, Damen Shipyards Galaţi (Romenia) has launched the World Diamond, the first of a series of six fully equipped Platform Supply Vessels for Norwegian offshore company World Wide Supply. The PSV 3300 series is part of Damen´s newly designed range of platform suppliers.
Like the other five ships, The World Diamond is built and completed in Galati in cooperation with Damen Shipyards Gorinchem (The Netherlands) which provides the design, engineering and main equipment.
Damen cooperates with a number of specialized suppliers and co-makers, respectively: Helmers (insulations, upholstery and furniture), Eekels (electrical equipment and installations), Den Breejen (painting and conservation’ and Johnson Control together with De Haan Galati (air conditioning and ventilation).

Damen Shipyards Group; One of the leading shipyard in designing and building of vessels for the Off-Shore Industry
Damen Offshore
Damen Shipyards Group offers an integrated and complete range of Offshore Support Vessels and special projects. Modern design and a high degree of standardisation result in reliable vessels with a low Total Cost of Ownership. Damen Offshore serves customers as varied as support companies, construction companies, coast guards, geotechnical companies and survey companies.
All our designs are based on thorough research and client feedback. We work closely together with universities, scientific research institutions and we regularly sail along with clients. Hence, we build for operability, rather than for trial conditions.
Range
We’ve developed a broad range of vessel types for clients in the Oil & Gas industry and for other clients working offshore. Examples are our Platform Supply Vessels, Anchor Handling Tug Suppliers and Fast Crew Suppliers (outfitted with a conventional bow, the Damen Sea Axe bow or a Twin Axe ow).
Other examples are Emergency Response Vessels, Chemical Recovery Vessels, Fishery Inspection Surveillance Vessels, Offshore Patrol Vessels, Seismic Research Support Vessels, High Speed Support Vessels and Multi Purpose Vessels.
PSV
Of our three most popular PSV designs more than 20 have been built in the past ten years, mainly for the Brazilian and Dutch offshore markets. Currently we are building six newly designed, environmentally friendly platform suppliers: the PSV 3300. Based on client feedback and scientific research, The PSV 3300 E3 is a platform supplier with excellent seakeeping qualities.
AHTS
Our existing AHTS newbuilds, with a 130 t BP, have been active in the Mediterranean for over 3 years. Damen aims for a further growth in the Offshore industry and has developed an Anchor Handling range up to 200 ton BP. Currently, our AHTS 150 design has been completed and the AHTS 200 design is in its final stages and includes ROV support functionality. As a special feature an Artic execution may be considered in due course.
FCS
The Damen Fast Crew Supplier 2610 is a fast, stable and safe offshore working platform. Its revolutionary Twin Axe Bow enables the FCS 2610 to cut through the waves effortlessly while maintaining a stable speed of more than 20 knots. This design reduces slamming and vertical accelerations up to 75%.
Damen Sea Base
Increasing pressure to cut emissions has boosted demand for offshore wind energy. Damen has developed a number of innovative and cost-reducing solutions by introducing a range of dedicated support vessels, safe crew-transfer systems and a fully integrated Infrastructure Support Vessel: the Damen ‘Sea Base’.
By integrating good seakeeping behaviour, lower fuel consumption, safety, cargo capacity and crew comfort, Damen enables offshore contractors and suppliers to minimize down-time and maximize workability.
Offshore Heavy Lift Vessel 1800
The Damen-built DP2 Offshore Heavy Lift Vessel ‘Fairplayer’ has two 900 t mast cranes and a lifting capacity of 1,800 t. The 3,100m² of free deck space and 20,000mᶟ adjustable cargo hold can accommodate almost any cargo. With its deepwater system the HLV 1800 is able to work offshore in 3,000 m water depth.
RoRo Deep Dredge – W47 (245 char.)
Damen Dredging Equipment has developed a modular, efficient and safe system for mining, dredging and trenching operations up to 200m water depth. Due to a flexible suction pipe, dredging depth has become independent from the vessels length. The RoRo Deep Dredge can be mounted on any vessel.
