Protunus opts for Damen MuC

Damen Shipyards Group has signed a contract with Protunus for the delivery of a Multi Cat (MuC) 2712.

According to Damen, the vessel will strengthen the operational capabilities of Protunus and Pro Liquid and will support both in-house operations and international charter activities.

The MuC 2712 is designed for operations in unrestricted waters and is suited to a wide range of duties including anchor handling, dredge support, offshore support, towage, pushing, transport and hose handling.

Also, the MuC 2712 is designed to be IMO Tier III-ready.

In order to comply with the regulations, Protunus has opted to install a Damen Marine NOx Reduction System, a selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) that reduces NOx emissions by 80%.

The vessel offers 32 tonnes of bollard pull, a spacious wheelhouse and comfortable accommodation. It features a 150 m² deck area and deck store, two heavy-duty deck cranes and an anchor handling winch.
