Damen Shipyards Group has delivered a new fast crew supplier vessel to MMS Offshore Renewable Services in the UK.
The FCS 2610 ship will be deployed in a variety of roles in the offshore renewables, oil and gas and marine civil engineering sectors.
MMS Offshore marine manager Nick Brambles said: “One of the appealing factors of choosing another Damen vessel to add to our fleet was the standardisation of the vessel type and its equipment.
“Additionally, we see the FCS 2610 design’s versatility as a clear advantage.”
Damen UK sales manager Frederik van der Linde said: “We enjoyed working with Nick and the MMS Offshore team again.
“And it’s great to see two of our vessels contributing to a thriving offshore renewables hub for such an ambitious company.”
MMS Offshore also has a new shore-based operational support base in Grimsby, where the new vessel will be based.
Brambles said: “We look forward to seeing what the future holds for the port of Grimsby as the offshore renewable industry continues to grow, bringing employment, education and life back into a port that has suffered since the decline of the fishing industry.
“We are excited to be a part of such promising times and have chosen to register the vessel’s home port as Grimsby to show our commitment to the region.”
