The PSV was built to a completely new and distinctive design from Damen, and World Diamond is the Þ rst of six PSVs for the Norwegian own- er. The vessel is capable of worldwide operations and its construction involved close cooperation with Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, The Netherlands, which pro- vided engineering and main equipment.The PSV3300 represents a new era in Damen?s offshore supply vessel sto- ry, having been built to a new design as part of a major extension in the yard group?s offshore portfolio. The 80.1m PSV 3300 will undertake crew and materials transport to and from offshore platforms but also offers Þ re-Þ ghting and oil pollution recovery capa- bility. Equipped with azimuthing thrust- ers and for dynamic positioning (DP2), the design is distinguished by slender hull lines to meet challenging conditions and minimised fuel consumption, as well as enhanced crew comfort.World Diamond is the Þ rst delivery of the PSV 3300, developed after ex- tensive CFD studies and hull testing at Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) to verify the results. Built to Damen?s ?E3? principles, the vessel is distinguished by its sleek bow, slender hull lines and diesel electric propulsion with azimuth stern drives. This combi- nation has been developed to minimize slamming and to balance a relatively high cargo intake with low fuel consumption, not only in calm water but also in rough seas. The azimuthing thrusters with ducted propellers in conjunction with the bow thrusters are designed to pro-vide accurate station keeping. The vessel features DP2 capability as well as newly designed anti-roll tanks, while smooth surfaces and a distinct lack of angles, lines and recesses also have a positive ef-fect on the durability of coatings. Other notable features of design include a new sheltered foredeck and an optimized su-perstructure for crew comfort, while the steel-welded wheelhouse is mounted on top of the deckhouse to ensure an opti-mal view in all directions.World Diamond is powered by a diesel electric solution with Tier II-compliant Caterpillar engines; two C3512 gen-erator sets in combination with two C32 TTA generator sets. The gensets are con- nected to a waste heat recovery system, greatly reducing fuel costs for heating of accommodation, tank cleaning and other purposes. The vessel is provided with a state-of-the-art Integrated Automation System (IAS) that incorporates a redun-dant topology reß ecting the vessels de- sign intent.Damen?s ?Diamond? in the Rough Main Particulars ?
