The Damen Stan Pontoon 12032 measures 120 m x 32,2 m (400 ft x 100 ft) and has a deadweight capacity of approx. 20,000 tonnes (50,000 Lbs) and a hold of 8.10 meter (27 ft). The barge is equipped with a sophisticated ballast system, generating set, mooring winches and with a deck load of 20 t/m² this barge can be used for complex RoRo operations and/or for transport of large offshore constructions.
Earlier this year Damen shipped 16 newly built pontoons from her shipyards in China to Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam. Most of the stock-built pontoons are sold, leaving only 2 Stan Pontoons and a Damen Transshipment Barge (incl. Liebherr crane) for direct sale. Early 2014 a new shipment of Damen Pontoons is scheduled to arrive in the Port of Rotterdam to ensure short delivery times.
