The YS 7512 model was used as a base layout and further customised by the in-house design team, with Wright Maritime Group representing the client and acting as a consultant on the custom design and technical development.
Once completed, the support yacht will have a beam of 12m/39.4ft and a volume of approximately 1,900 GT. The equipment and facilities will include a D14 helicopter and hangar, cutting-edge environmental equipment and capacity to act as emergency relief support with a specialised range of marine equipment and tenders.
Altogether, the accommodation will provide for up to 45 crew, staff, specialists and guests. Once delivered, she will be the 17th support yacht completed by Damen.
The YS 7512 model is the largest purpose-built support yacht currently offered by Damen and is designed for the storage and operation of a wide variety of toys such as Scuba diving equipment, and tenders and vehicles including personal submarines and helicopters, leaving the mothership free for luxury guest amenities.
