Recently, Damen Shipyards Group has officially delivered the Multi Cat 3113, named C-Trojan, to the Scottish firm Leask Marine. This new unit represents a strategic evolution for the Orkney Islands-based company, integrating cutting-edge technology to address challenges in renewable energy and shipbuilding sectors.
The Christening and Delivery of the Multi Cat 3113
The relationship between both companies strengthened after the rapid integration of the C-Force in 2021, a MuC 2712 model that demonstrated the efficiency of Damen’s stock hulls. On this occasion, the shipyard’s flexibility allowed for adapting a proven design to include a DP1 dynamic positioning system and a four-point mooring, ensuring millimeter-level precision in critical maintenance and salvage activities.
The company has modified the internal layout to establish a clear barrier between noisy work areas and accommodation zones. This technical decision aims to prioritize the health and rest of the operators, a factor that Douglas Leask, the firm’s executive director, has mentioned as essential for maintaining operational excellence in prolonged tidal energy and wind energy missions.
Likewise, the vessel’s versatility allows it to participate in dredging projects, PLGR removal, and ROV support at any latitude. The delivery took place at the Hardinxveld facilities in the Netherlands, and the C-Trojan is already sailing towards its first contractual mission.
