Promar take management of second Damen PSV 3300

In January 2014, an order was placed with Damen Shipyards Group for two Platform Supply Vessels (PSV). The first vessel, Mamola Reliance, was delivered in February 2015 and is currently in service, managed by PROMAR, in the West African market. This second vessel, Mamola Defender, is expected to be operational in the same region. The naming ceremony of the vessel took place on 23 September 2015. Both vessels are at the forefront of technology in terms of equipment. The PSV 3300 design ensures reliability, excellent seakeeping behaviour and low fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions – crucial features for the offshore market.

During the construction of the vessel, PROMAR had a team based in Romania to supervise the project with Damen Shipyards Galati. According to Jérôme Bouchardy, Head of Projects and Commercial Manager at PROMAR, “There was a fruitful collaboration between the PROMAR team and Damen. Thanks to the great professionalism of all teams, as well as Damen’s excellent production capabilities, the project went well and was delivered on time. We are very proud to manage such a beautiful vessel. Like her Sister ship, Mamola Reliance, she has been designed and built to fulfill the highest requirements of the offshore industry. She features a broad package of options and is SPS compliant, offering therefore additional flexibility for clients.”

The Christening ceremony for Mamola Defender has taken place in Barcelona with official representation from Damen, PROMAR and the ship-owners.

“This was a fantastic cooperation between PROMAR, the Ship-owners and Damen, for all the processes related to the building of these two vessels. We are sure these high quality PSVs will be appreciated by all business partners,” Damen Regional Sales Manager North, West and South Europe Andrea Trevisan comments. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at PROMAR. Building a ship is teamwork and the cooperation was excellent throughout this whole process. The team at PROMAR are professional and enthusiastic and we hope to be able to work with them again in the future.”

PROMAR, with headquarters in Switzerland, manage a fleet of Multi-Purpose Supply Vessels and Fast Crew Boats which serve the global offshore marine industry. The company covers all ship management competencies and has a presence in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, providing top quality services to meet the highest standards of oil majors and offshore contractors. They are dedicated to providing efficient expert services and addressing clients’ most stringent requirements.

With the conclusion of this project, and considering other current on-going projects, Damen continues to demonstrate its position as a leading supplier for the offshore oil & gas industry.
