Damen Marine Components wins four-vessel contract for steering gear

Dutch shipbuilder GS Projects has contracted DMC by to supply the steering, control and propulsion equipment for four dry cargo vessels.

DMC will provide its ‘plug &play’Piston RAM-type steering systems, Barke rudders and Optima nozzles to the series of four identical vessels.

These ships are being constructed at the GS Projects shipyard in Waterhuizen, the Netherlands as part of a project in cooperation with Groot Ship Design and Ship and Steelbuilding (SaS), who build this series for their shortsea shipping client Longship.

The selection of this trio of DMC products fits the vessels’ design well: 100+ metres long, 15,5 metres wide, a design draft of 6.2 metres, and a deadweight of 6,250 tonnes.

Moreover, the robust design and engineering of the DMC scope will easily meet the Lloyd’s Register classification and additionally the Finnish-Swedish 1A ice class specifications by which the four vessels will be built under.
