"The DAMEN OPV Range for medium size navies"
Damen as a technology driven shipbuilding company presented during the CYPnaval the methodology of
designing ships.
The success of Damen is coming after careful listening to our customers about how they are proceeding in
there operations and together with them we designed the vessel fit for purpose, the Damen Axebow design
was developed after improvements that had to made in performance of high and medium speed boats with a
length of up to 75 meters.
It has shown that this Damen improvement is a success with already more than 100 ships built with this type
of hull form and helped our customers with their sometimes dangerous operations.
Also the with the Royal Netherlands Navy developed stern slipway was a novelty that helped boarding teams
to run their operations up to Seastate 5 conditions in safe manner.
The Knowledge after building more than 5000 ships with different propulsion configurations helped us to
advice our customers how to run their operations in an economical way based on their predicted operational
profile. And with so many vessels built we know exactly wat equipment to be installed to keep the downtime
for our customers to a minimum and ensure that their vessel meet the expectations as much as possible.
There for Damen offers a world of possibilities with our standard of excellence.
