Aug. 8, 2022
EMAR Offshore Services has purchased two Damen Fast Crew Supplier 2206 vessels, one of which has begun operations in Angola supporting the local oil and gas industry and will be joined by the second vessel soon.
RAAMSDONKSVEER, The Netherlands—EMAR Offshore Services BV has bought two Damen Fast Crew Supplier (FCS) 2206 vessels.
The E-Six vessel has already begun operations in Angola supporting the local oil and gas industry and will be joined by E-Seven shortly.
The 22-m Damen FCS 2206 is a no-nonsense and robust design with a 25-sq-m cargo deck and the capacity to carry up to 42 personnel plus two crew at speeds of up to 32 knots. This is thanks in part to its Axe-bow design that enables it to cut through the waves. Built in aluminum, it has a range of up to 315 nm at maximum speed in its standard configuration but, with the addition of the optional extra fuel tank, E-Six and E-Seven have a range of 350 nm and will be able to reach even the most remote oil and gas platforms.
Additional optional extras specified by EMAR include fire-fighting capability, secondary gensets for redundancy and an auto pilot and night vision package. Both vessels were built at Damen Shipyards Antalya in Turkey.
