This weeks Interesting Ship is brought to us by Damen Shipyards with their Fast Crew Supplier 5009. The idea in the design of the Fast Crew Supplier 5009 series was to provide transport of a big load at high speeds and over long distances while still providing comfort for its passengers. With a capacity for 250 ton load and 80 passengers at a speed of 25 knots, this vessel does just that. It’s Sea Axe bow design provides a deep forefront so it can keep up high speeds in rough seas with minimal slamming and greatly reduces vertical accelerations furthing the comfort of the ride. It’s steel hull provides for lower costs and lighter weight over it’s aluminum counterpart, while at the same time reducing fuel costs and lower vibration in the wheelhouse. Additionally the steel hull makes repairs easier if needed.
The Fast Crew Supplier 5009 runs on 4 Caterpillar 3512B engines so the vessel can remain operating if one of the engines needs maintenance.
