Fast Crew Supplier 1605 FRP

This is a Fast Crew Supplier built by Damen Shipyards in 2022, based on the FCS 1605 FRP design. She is a crew transfer vessel constructed with a Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) hull, classified by Bureau Veritas for Hull and Machinery as a Crew Boat for Sea Area 3. The vessel measures 16.80 metres in length overall with a beam of 4.85 metres, a depth at sides of 2.00 metres, and a maximum draft of 0.80 metres. She has a gross tonnage of 36 GT and can accommodate up to 29 persons including one crew member. Propulsion is provided by twin Volvo D13 main engines, each producing 735 kW, driving two fixed pitch propellers and giving her a maximum speed of 25 knots. Navigation and communication equipment includes marine radar with AIS, GPS, and two VHF radios. The vessel is fitted with D-fenders (190x200) at main deck level and a bow fender with foam filler landing module, making her well suited for safe crew transfers to offshore installations. The layout comprises three deck levels: a lower deck housing the engine room, genset, store, and forepeak; a main deck with the passenger cabin area, toilet, and luggage storage; and the wheelhouse above. The compact and robust design is typical of the Damen FCS range, offering reliable high-speed crew transfer capability in coastal and nearshore waters.
