New order for Danish Yachts
Seawork 2014 exhibitor Danish Yachts is to build the first in its second series of carbon fibre SWATH vessels, due for delivery in 2014, for operation in Northern Europe.
The design of the vessel will include a re-style of the superstructure to provide enhanced all-round vision from the bridge, as well as a lower centre of gravity in the hull form.
Danish Yachts’ new build 124 will also feature the compression/vacuum active trim system, allowing fast transfer between CAT and SWATH modes.
The design teams at the shipyard in Skagen are currently working on new designs for different sizes of SWATH vessels, suited to either the offshore wind farm industry or other offshore industries such as oil and gas.
Patrik von Sydow, CEO, Danish Yachts, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be adding to our fleet of SWATH vessels – this underlines the view that carbon fibre is the future, with its longevity and cost saving over the life of each vessel. Our teams work closely with the latest regulations, with this fleet being built to DNV and Germanischer Lloyd with reinforcement to ice classifications.”
