Damen tug conversion

The tug conversion includes the installation of new engines that comply with emission standards with IMO tier III as well as EUROVI stage 5 along with the installation of diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction systems.

The vessel will also be equipped with a heat recovery system to provide heating for the cabin and bridge and the bridge insulation will be improved, including replacement of all glass. New rudders and propellers will be installed and the anchor lockers will be modified.

The vessel was built by Damen in 2013 and has been in active service ever since. Following its conversion, scheduled to complete in June, PA1 will be employed for infrastructure maintenance and patrolling in the Amsterdam harbours.

Along with the PA1 conversion, Damen has also won the maintenance contract for the three other Damen vessels in the Port of Amsterdam fleet, two Stan Tug 1907’s and a Stan Tender 1905.
