Damen Shipyard Group Global Stock Availability
by Marine Matters On April 4th, a shipment that left
China seven weeks prior carrying 13 new Damen Stan Pontoons and 10 other Damen vessels arrived in Rotterdam. The built-for-stock pontoons and vessels will uphold Damen’s ultra-short delivery times as demand rises following 170 de- liveries in 2013. This has also led to Damen introducing newly designed barges and completing a number of custom pontoon and barge projects. Damen has sold 37 pontoons and
barges in the last two years. Pro- duction has increased with an even larger amount of vessels currently
under construction at four different yards in the Middle East, Vietnam and China. Following strong de- mand for last year’s shipment of pontoons and barges delivered to Rotterdam, this new shipment of built-for-stock vessels ensures continuous availability in Western Europe and North America. On the journey from Shanghai, the semi- submersible vessel also had room to transport a further six Stan Tugs and four Stan Tenders. Before reaching Europe, the ship stopped in West Africa to deliver a number of pon- toons and tugs, which had already
been sold to repeat clients while the vessel was en route.
Global availability The shipment carried eight dif-
ferent models from the range of high quality Stan Pontoons, includ- ing Damen’s largest built-for-stock pontoon measuring 120 x 32.2 x 8.1 metres and has a deadweight of 20150 tonnes. Following last year’s shipment, a built-for-stock vessel of the same model was sold to the McKeil-Malaspina partnership to support offshore construction operations off the East coast of
