Damen finds solution for idle PSVs

Damen Shipyards Group has developed a committed response to the increasing number of laid up platform supply vessels (PSVs). The Dutch company’s solution involves converting idle PSVs into vessels capable of taking on roles in alternative sectors such as aquaculture, shipping and defense.

“Our design teams have come up with workable ideas across several industries,” said Remko Hottentot, Damen sales manager. “For example, we can convert a laid up PSV into a profitable container feeder or, for naval operations, a logistic support vessel. The possibilities are numerous. It will also be possible to transform a PSV into an accommodation and O&M vessel.”

One example of an already developed proposal is the Damen Live Fish Carrier 8916 for the aquaculture industry. 

In addition to permanent conversion concepts, Damen can also create temporary designs. These can be applied to vessels originally built by Damen or other shipbuilding companies.
