Success built on experience and innovation

As a company our success is historically based on building all types of

workboats including tugs, multicats and shoalbusters. Many industries
use these workboats to handle and operate barges and, as a result,
building non-propelled barges became common practice within our
company, in numbers reaching into the hundreds. With demand for
barges increasing steadily in recent years, Kommer Damen decided
to start a new product group to focus on this sector, and the Pontoons
and Barges division was born.
We now have a specialised department to develop new products and
work with clients on bespoke designs. Our portfolio consists of
Pontoons, Bunker Barges, Hopper Barges and Crane Barges. For our
standardised designs, a range of plug-and-play options are available, and
we build and hold in stock many of our most popular barges to ensure
ultra-short delivery times!

Standardisation

pontoons and barges in stock

Damens focus on standardisation is one of our fundamental corporate

values. In 1969, when Jan Damen handed the reins over to his son
Kommer, the modular building concept was one of the first initiatives
Kommer Damen introduced after listening carefully to client feedback.

Damens standardisation policy allows us to reduce delivery

times substantially. We build a wide variety of standard vessels
on our own account and keep them in stock. All of our standard
designs are worked out to the smallest detail, allowing us to
deliver fully finished vessels very quickly and efficiently.

key to success

proven design, short term delivery

We always have a global spread of stock available for the most

popular models. These are built at various yards around the world
to ensure that clients can have a new pontoon delivered within
a few weeks, depending on transportation, which we also can
arrange. Our focus is the provision of the best possible solutions
for our clients in way of time, flexibility and quality.

Four decades ago the standardisation concept was totally new in the
shipbuilding industry, and even today it is still unusual. However, in each
of our niche markets from tugboats to pontoons and barges Damen
has developed a standard range.

custom-made projects
Damen is the ideal partner for both standard and unique
custom designs. We have decades of experience, a diverse
portfolio of products and all the in-house expertise needed.
All of these together ensure the best end result.

Although these vessels are all based on standard designs, they can be
equipped from a wide of options to meet specific customer requirements.
Our standard designs can also be tailor-made according to customer wishes
or we can start from first principles and design a unique vessel. All of these
options are no problem for Damens far-reaching capabilities.

Damen Standard
The delivery time for a Damen standardised vessel is
considerably shorter than for one conventionally built.
Our standard designs are available off the shelf and
high demand vessels built on our own account for
stock to ensure the shortest as possible delivery times.

Damen can supply pontoons and barges from

its own shipyards or assist clients in building
their own vessels locally via Damen Technical
Cooperation (DTC).
Damens extensive R&D department represents a powerful
resource, especially when combined with the renowned Dutch
maritime technology cluster. All our vessels benefit from R&D
input throughout their lifetimes as our team continuously strives
to make them faster, quieter, more cost-efficient and more
environmentally-friendly. Many years of such research have led
to some truly pioneering designs, such as the Enlarged Ship
Concept and the Sea Axe.

Hull optimisation for our pontoons and barges is undertaken by

our R&D specialists working alongside leading maritime research
institutes. We continually strive to minimise hull resistance by
comparing shapes and details on influence. This is done using
computer and scale simulations in combination with a virtual
Damen Stan Tugs. The results of these exercises show that
our optimised hull shapes can deliver fuel savings of up to 32%
compared to conventional alternatives!

damens backbone

Sustainability

research & development

3d analyse tools
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and
model testing techniques are used for the verification
and optimisation of each hull shape. Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) is used for the structural analysis while
3D engineering facilitates the routing of pipes, cables,
and the lay out. Specialised design calculations are
performed in-house and verified by real-time trial data.

Extensive anti-corrosion measures

All Damen pontoons and barges incorporate state-ofthe-art solutions for corrosion prevention. All steel
parts are well rounded, there are no sharp corners and
welding is done without overlap or undercutting. All
areas are closed yet easily accessible for maintenance.
The decks are smooth and bevelled, making them easy
to paint and clean. A top quality International Paint
system is used.

The maritime industry recognises the increasing

need for environmental responsibility. We are
proactive in developing sustainable and costeffective vessels and services, and our research
and development department is continuously
looking for new sustainable manufacturing
processes and product improvements.

Through the entire lifecycle

Dutch maritime knowledge

All our vessels benefit from knowledge gathered during
ongoing research programmes within the group.
Damen works alongside world-renowned research
institutes such as Delft University of Technology,
Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN)
and the Netherlands Organisation of Applied Scientific
Research (TNO), as well as other respected universities
and leading maritime companies.

container-sized ballast water treatment units

Damen Barges can be equipped with ballast water treatment
systems to safeguard the environment and prevent harmful,
alien species entering marine ecosystems. The state-of-the-art
systems are IMO-type approved and can be retrofitted.
Another possibility is to install containerized InvaSave units
on a Stan Pontoon to create a flexible harbour service that can
provide treatment for larger vessels in harbours.

DTC can deliver everything from just the licence

and vessel design right up to a full materials package
for the entire Damen vessel portfolio. If required,
DTC can also provide building assistance and
even yard upgrades. This highly flexible option
results in a valuable transfer of technology and
enables owners to enjoy Damen quality combined
with the convenience of local production.

DTC

Think global, act local

Transfer of shipbuilding technology

Demand for the DTC programme is being driven by factors such
as the growing global trend for countries to place limits on
imported goods and services to boost local production, and
geographical restrictions that prevent the delivery of finished
vessels to areas of operations due to limited access. Damen has
responded by providing customers with a flexible, comprehensive
solution that enables them to buy Damen vessels, wherever they
are in the world, while satisfying local sourcing requirements.

stan pontoons
Our Stan Pontoon range is a standardised, high performance, range of
pontoons. For many of our customers these deliver exactly what they
need. Because of our extended knowledge of market needs and, most
of all, by listening to our clients, we design and build a wide range of
sizes for stock. This ensures global availability at short notice of the most
popular sizes of Stan Pontoons in a range from 30 x 11 metres with a DWT
of 485 tonnes up to 145 x 36 metres with 26.000 tonnes DWT.

Stan Pontoons for stock

All Stan Pontoons are classified for worldwide renowned class societies
and can be configured to meet specific customer requirements. Sturdy
vessels built to proven designs, they are designed for the toughest
conditions and engineered to be loaded to the maximum. Our pontoons
stand for high tech, high quality, working barges which are ideal for any
project from heavy lifting to ocean-going transport.

HeBRON PROJECT CANADA

For this project two Stan Pontoons
were used to build an enormous
Gravity Based Structure (GBS) for
the Hebron oil field in Canada.
The lower part was constructed in a
dry dock after which it was towed to
the deep water site. At this location
a total of 22 deck barges formed a
floating construction site to build
up the GBS.
The client choose Damen pontoons
because they were available from
stock on top of Damens renowned
quality and service.

custom built pontoons
For clients that need something more specialised, Damen is the ideal
partner. In close collaboration with project partners we can design
pontoons for special purposes to meet particular specifications. Examples
include anti-pollution pontoons and off-loading pontoons with enhanced
ballasting capabilities and mooring solutions.

Stan Pontoons are designed to be flexible in every possible way, thanks to their modular
build and pre-prepared options, and our design philosophy is applied from engineering
right through to production. The range is based on various beam sizes and three
possible lengths per type. All mid-sections are identical, with the option of leaving out
one or two sections to build a smaller size pontoon. In total, Damens standardised
pontoon range is comprised of ten different standard sizes, ranging from the B11
(11m beam) to the B36 (36m beam). Together they provide the ultimate working
environment. The entire range is available in different lengths.

Stan Pontoon B11

With a beam of 11.4 metres the Stan Pontoon B11 can access the
most distant of Europes inland waterways. With pre-designed
options including spud poles, anti-fouling and removable railings
readily available, it is well suited for inland contracting and
dredging work.

Stan Pontoons
The client used a Stan Pontoon 4111 to convert it into an innovative
concept. High specs and availability from stock were important factors
for the client to choose Damen. The Waaloord is equipped with a
loading bridge to be able to remove large quantities of soil in a short
space of time. It is used on inland waters as a flexible solution where
no quays are available.

The basic Stan Pontoon is supplied with a towing

arrangement, bollards, hoisting eyes and an extra-thick
deck to handle the rough and tumble of pontoon
operations. Every detail is considered, right up to the
dedicated International Paint system. Options are
integrated in the design and can be installed at any time
without the need for welding or grinding. Amongst the
plug-and-play options are a ballast system, de-aerators,
tow bridle, extra bollards and an anchor/mooring system.

Damen pontoons and barges

can be easily equipped with
deck-mounted propulsion units.
These make it possible for the
barge to manoeuvre itself within
harbours without the use of a tug.
Assisted propulsion is just one
example from the wide range of
prepared options which make our
vessels flexible and applicable for
a wide range of operations and
industries.

Optional assisted propulsion

A wide variety of Damen Hopper Barges are on offer, all

featuring large box shaped hoppers. Similar to the Stan
Pontoons range, there are five different beam sizes, each
available in three different lengths. The smallest measures
28.7 x 8.2m and has a hopper volume of 408m; the largest

split barge 450

hopper barge

measures 83.3 x 20m and can take 8,115m of cargo. They

can be equiped with options like cargo hatches. For heavy
products, Stan Pontoons can be equipped with hoppers.
The Split Barge is a single-deck, non-propelled barge
with a central hopper and a heavy steel hull which opens

longitudinally. Our modern split barges are designed for

working on inland waterways and in coastal waters,
transporting dredged materials to underwater dumping
grounds. They can also be built with assisted propulsion
units on request.

hopper/split barges
Split- and hopper barges are available
in standard designs and can be designed and
custom-built on request.

Hopper Barges
Our large range of standardised vessels allows us to be a full
portfolio supplier for any industry.
The Transshipment Crane Barge combined with our Hopper
Barges and Stan Tugs or Pushers make your logistic chain
efficient and reliable: easy to maintain and always backed up
by our Services department.

This crane barge has

been specially designed
for the construction of
heavy marine works, in
particular for construction
of jetties with large
diameter mono pile
dolphins or for lifting of
heavy prefabricated
topside and pipe rack
units.

testing crane capacity

Whether it is application of proven technology, a lifetime extension or creating an all-new concept,

our design team has the experience to make it a reality.

Custom built Crane Barges

Damen is your partner for all types of crane barges.
In our decades of experience we have built a large
amount of custom designed floating cranes for a wide
range of industries.
A recent example is the 400 tonne IB-429 to build jetties
and other Harbour and Terminal projects with around the
world. Sarah-10 was built to do repair and maintenance

work on Oil and Gas assets in the Persian Gulf and has oil
spill response equipment onboard.
35 Tonner is built for an Australian client active in the
maritime contracting and construction industry. For this
project we have built a new pontoon because the crane
was still in good shape, this way the client was able to
extend its lifetime.

We offer custom built Crane Barges to our own design or

develop them in close collaboration with clients. Equipment
is essential and, therefore, we work together with the best
suppliers, each having their own expertise and advantages.
Hull shapes of these crane barges take advantage of our
Research knowledge for Stan Pontoons so although they
are designed to have a high and very safe stability they
have minimal resistance during voyages.

Back in 1986 this Crane

Barge for Algeria was
built. It was operational
for more than 30 years
in harbour mainenance
projects and heavy lift
work.
Now in 2015 Damen
Shipyards is selected
after a thorough tender
procedure to build its
replacement.

high performance four-rope
crane, ensuring high-speed,
continuous operation, even
in challenging conditions.
Its high stability leads to an
increased turnover of more
than 1,000 tonnes per hour.
Safety and efficiency are
enhanced by a colour
monitor connected to a
camera on the boom tip
and the extended cabin
ensures maximum crane
visibility.

Reliable, high quality and versatile barge for loading and transshipment operations in ports and open waters.

Transshipment BARGES
This newly Damen-designed vessel is extremely flexible and highly
fuel efficient with a shallow draught. It is also being built for stock
to ensure fast delivery and to meet strong customer demand.
The Liebherr crane is positioned eccentric to optimize its ability to
handle large bulk carriers and above that by having an extended
cabin and camera at the boom tip. Besides grab-operation it can

be equipped to handle containers or breakbulk. Several plug-andplay options can be implemented at any moment like assisted
propulsion to manoeuvre the barge from the transhipment area to
its anchorage location. High quality components and a design
team with involved suppliers make this a safe, flexible and
operational efficient barge to work with.

The Damen Transshipment

Barges engine room is

provided with a steel
shelter on top to
protect the winches
against dust.
Smart winch arrangement

Tugs and
Workboats
Our tugs and workboats have proven themselves to be highly efficient and
multi-functional. They work together with our pontoons and barges in many
industries like Offshore Wind, Dredging, Oil and Gas, Harbour and Terminal
and Fish Farms. Damen is your one-stop-shop for standardized solutions.
Because of this strategy there is one central point of contact for Services,
Spare Parts and Training.
Stan Tugs have raised foredecks to improve seagoing abilities. The combination
of heavy built hulls with 10 mm plating and extra frames and brackets all above
class requirements guarantee sturdy and rigid hulls, able to withstand heavy
impacts without damage.
Damen Multi Cats are standard, multi-purpose work vessels: tough, compact,
stable and manoeuvrable in tight situations. Commonly used for maintenance,
inspection and construction work in many different industries.
Shoalbusters are versatile, multi-purpose vessels for harbour, inland and coastal
waters and as the name explains; have a minimal draft. Important features are an
impressive bollard pull in shallow waters, large working deck to transport cargo
and heavy equipment like winches and cranes.

MODULAR barge system

The Damen Modular Barge (DMB) is the fundamental
building block for our modular pontoons and vessels.
The container-sized floating units, coupled by the
class-approved Damen Link, are transportable to remote
areas and can be connected at lakes, inland waterways
and coastal waters. Consequently, many applications are
possible.

modular pusher 1908

modular multi cat 1205

If a vessel is required at a land-locked water area, the

Damen Modular Barge system provides the solution.
The modular sections can be transported overland to
any location in the world and then assembled to create
a professional marine vessel of Damen standard quality.
All the pieces can be transported by truck, boat, plane or
train as container-sized (twenty and forty foot) modules.
