Damen Shipyards constructs a modular dock (DMD 4020) to be delivered to[ds_preview] Djibouti. The dock – which measures 50 x 20 m – is to be used for repair and maintenance of the Authorities’ fleet, which consists of various supporting vessels such as tugs, shoal busters and pilot vessels. The dock can be built worldwide and can be used in various types of marine circumstances. It can also be outfitted with cranes, accommodation units, roller blocks, workshop units, sandblast curtains and dock mooring systems. The design incorporates such features as low emission motors, LED lighting and dedicated systems for waste management and spills avoidance. The delivery of the DMD 4020, currently under construction in Dubai, is scheduled for the second half of 2012. After testing in Dubai and delivery of the dock in Djibouti, a Damen Services team will stay on location for two years to give operational and technical support.
