"The UV 4312 is a cost-efficient, ship-shaped and self-propelled floating work station for delousing operations; we did our homework."

Damen Shipyards Group sales manager Remko Hottentot said: “The UV 4312 is a cost-efficient, ship-shaped and self-propelled floating work station for delousing operations; we did our homework.

“Compared to earlier vessels, this new one offers increased flexibility and improved cost-efficiency.”

The company will build the UV 4312 for VOLT Service based on the design of its smaller model, UV 2410.

Damen delivered an ASD 2913 vessel, named Germania, to Italian tug operator Rimorchiatori Riuniti last month.
