FSV Group has taken delivery of a customised 41-metre Damen barge which will provide a range of services to the Norwegian aquaculture industry.
Measuring 41 x 13m, the barge has undergone a number of modifications at a local yard since its arrival in Norway. These have included the installation of a ballast system and the addition of an accommodation block for up to four people plus two deck cranes. Further alterations are currently being made.
Delivery took place around six weeks after the contract was finalised, with the basic barge already in stock.
“Damen’s ability to deliver so quickly was a significant factor in our decision to buy from them,” commented FSV Group CEO Petter Thoresen. “The quality and specification was also just what we wanted. The service was good and we would be happy to do business with them again.”
