Sustainable maritime solutions
Damen’s work on the electrification of the maritime industry falls under the so-called E3 umbrella. That is, environmentally friendly, efficient in operation and economically viable. The shipyards group is currently working on a number of projects for electric vessels.Speedy, safe support offshore
Fast Crew Suppliers
Finely balanced
Having served on the seas for decades, the Damen Fast Crew Supply Vessel designs are of proven reliability. The basis for the range is a balance between comfort, speed, operability, efficiency and flexibility.
Linking sea & shore
The FCS creates a fast, reliable connection between port and offshore operations. The Sea Axe hull reduces demands on crew. Propulsion options allow operational requirements to be matched with efficiency.

Damen’s philosophy of building to order with standard components, makes any configuration possible at the lowest possible cost and shortest delivery time.
Renowned for the highest safety standards
Proven designs, proven reliability
Superior seakeeping at all speeds
Committed to sustainability
Meeting every level of your needs
The FCS portfolio meets every level of need, from short-distance vessels designed to access smaller platforms in calm weather to larger, long distance vessels capable of operations in almost all sea-states.
Increasing safety during transfer
Damen’s Fast Crew Supply Vessels are focused on increasing safety levels during personnel transfers. The design is based on a large aft deck, protected with a large cargo railing, lashing eyes and a crash barrier for the safe transfer of deck cargo.
Twin Axe
Applying the benefits of the Sea Axe to a catamaran combines the best of two worlds. A tunnel with a large clearance above the water results in lightweight, low resistance to transfer personnel quickly and comfortably.
Coastal fast crew suppliers
Versatility comes courtesy of a wide range of modular sections, parts and equipment. These include propulsion systems, superstructure modules, deck equipment and sun awnings amongst other options.
Reduced fuel consumption
The Damen Sea Axe hull reduces acceleration and resistance, softens the pitch motion and eliminates slamming, resulting in unrivalled comfort and low fuel consumption compared to conventional ships.
