Damen launch 55m support yacht Blue Ocean

Dutch shipyard Damen Yachts have launched their first support yacht with an integrated multi functional hangar.

Available for delivery in spring, the 55 metre vessel was launched into the waters of Antalya ahead of final preparations before the presentation ceremony.

Constructed of steel and aluminum, the shipyard advertises a top speed of 20 knots with a draft of three metres, making her ideal for venturing to destinations with shallow coastlines.

The main selling point for yacht support Blue Ocean is her flexible hangar space on the aft main deck. 

Accommodating diving activities, workshop practices and a garage capacity, there's ample space onboard to comfortably store a seaplane and multiple tenders.

Other additional options such as a crane and 50 sqm dive centre further enhance the functionality of the aft hangar space.

Overnight accommodation can accommodate up to eight guests in a four cabin layout, plus up to 11 staff and crew.

More details will be made available about Blue Ocean soon.
