On April 25th Damen’s award-winning and IMO certified InvaSave ballast water management system (BWMS) received its world premiere in front of an invited audience courtesy of Groningen Seaports at the harbour of Delfzijl and Eemshaven, The Netherlands. This marks the culmination of a seven-year programme to develop an effective mobile BWMS for use in ports.

The Marine2 launched by KLAW is 32% shorter and 25% lighter than alternative Marine Breakaway Couplings on the market and is designed to reduce stress on hoses used on offshore hose reel applications.

Bringing together the experience and knowledge of two Damen companies is the close cooperation between Damen Green Solutions and Damen Shiprepair & Conversion (DSC). The two companies combine their specific skill sets to offer ship owners a smoother transition towards compliance with new environmental regulations and cleaner sailing.

The technology group Wärtsilä has been contracted to supply a comprehensive package of engines and propulsion machinery for a new Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) vessel. When delivered, the 'Spartacus', which is being built on behalf of Belgium based Dredging International (DEME), will be the world's most powerful CSD and the first ever to be fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). It is being built at the Royal IHC yard in the Netherlands. The order with Wärtsilä, worth around 20 MEUR, was booked in the fourth quarter of 2016.
