Caspian Offshore Construction has taken delivery of a Damen Shoalbuster (SBu) 3209.
The vessel, named Caspian Lotus, joins the company’s fleet of over 50 vessels and barges. Caspian Lotus begins its career supporting dredging projects in the Persian Gulf.
The Caspian Lotus is well suited to its operational scope, with its shallow draught of just 3.3 meters, 80m2 of deck space, ample crane capacity and powerful propulsion.
Caspian Offshore Construction is a long-term client of Damen. The company took delivery of its first Damen vessel – a Fast Crew Supplier (FCS) 1605 back in 2006. Since then, Caspian Offshore Construction has purchased a number of Damen Multi Cats (MuC) and FCS vessels, both newbuilds and second hand.
The company often chooses to work with Damen vessels as they are well aligned with its operational profile. Additionally, thanks to Damen’s practice of building vessels in series for stock, the shipbuilder is able to facilitate rapid delivery.
