Damen completes sea trials of 40m patrol vessel pair for Nigeria

Damen Shipyards Group has completed sea trials of two patrol vessels in a series ordered by Nigerian maritime security company SR Platforms.

The two vessels each have a length of 40 metres, a maximum speed of 29 knots, a range of 2,000 nautical miles, and a 140-square-metre aft deck for transporting personnel and cargo as well as for accommodating equipment for firefighting and oil spill recovery.

Both vessels were readily available in stock at Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam. Upon delivery, these will be deployed by SR Platforms as fast support intervention vessels on a contract with a major international oil company.
