Marine Core & Charter has signed the delivery protocol of the first of two crew boats built at Albwardy Damen Shipyard.

The signing ceremony took place at the Damen stand (M30) at Seatrade Offshore Middle East Exhibition in Abu Dhabi on Monday for the first of two Damen Fast Crew Suppliers 4008 (FCS 4008) to be handed over to Marine Core & Charter on 28 September.

Pascal Slingerland of Damen Shipbuilding Group presented Adib Abdel Massih, ceo of Marine Core & Charter, with a scale model of an FCS 4008 vessel to mark the event.

The 41 m FCS 4008 is a high performance, offshore support vessel capable of carrying 90 people plus equipment and cargo at speeds of up to 28 knots in a wide range of weather conditions.

The vessel will be officially handed over to Marine Core on 28 September, during the annual Damen Experience Day at Albwardy Damen in Sharjah. Guests will also be able to go on board the FCS 4008 for an on-the-water inspection and demonstration of its outstanding sailing performance.
