Damen and Ampelmann joined forces to incorporate the walk-to-work expertise of Ampelmann with Damen’s experience in designing and building crew change vessels. After research, market consultation, design and engineering, the Aqua Helix was built on speculation to demonstrate the unique character of this crew supplier. A pilot like this can only be done once. That is why it is crucial everything works perfectly and an experienced crew is key. That is why Damen and Ampelmann choose Wagenborg Offshore with her extensive track record with her fleet of walk-to-work vessels in the Southern North Sea and crew management services.
The Fast Crew Supplier (FCS7011) is capable of continuously sailing at speeds of up to 40 knots to enable short transit times.
