DAMEN’S UNIQUE AND SUCCESFULLSEA AXE HULL DESIGNIS USED FOR THE NEW GENERATIONSUPERIOR SEAKEEPINGUNRIVALLED OPERABILITYHIGHLY FUEL EFFICIENTThe Sea Axe hull shape guarantees the bestseakeeping performance at high speeds.The combination of superior seakeeping and theposition of the wheelhouse results in the highestpossible level of operability.The long and slender Sea Axe hull offersexceptionally low resistance, deliveringexcellent fuel efficiency at all speeds.

VERSATILITYIS REINVENTEDWITH APPLIANCEOF MULTI-MISSIONEMPLOYABILITYMULTI - MISSION BRIDGEThe Bridge directly adjoins the Command &Control Centre (C&C Centre), ensuring easyand fast communication. Depending on themission and the situation, the C&C Centre canbe separated from the Bridge by means of ablinded sliding door. This will ensure that theC&C crew can fully focus on their tasks withoutbeing distracted, for instance during the taskingand planning phases of a mission.When creating the recognized service picture,the C&C Centre will be in charge of collectingall necessary data. When targets on the radarcannot be identified, the C&C Centre officerscan directly deploy an RHIB to visually identifythe unknown target.The actual engagement phase or ‘chase’,requires a lot of coordination and thus thenumber of activities per minute on the bridgenormally is very high. On the new Damen OPV,the C&C officers will be able to see the situationwith their own eyes directly from the C&CCentre, after the blinded sliding door has beenlowered, taking away communication moments.This reduces the workload on the crew involved,which is beneficial for the operation.

DIRECT AVAILABILITY OFDEDICATED EQUIPMENT IS KEYFOR THE SUCCESS OF A MISSIONMULTI - MISSION BAY“Take what you need and leave the unnecessary.”This approach makes the OPV-2 versatile andmission focused. Missions can be related to suchlike humanitarian aid, counter-piracy, -terrorismand -drugs, anti-mining warfare (AMW), oil spillrecovery, fishery inspection, search & rescue (SAR)and also everyday border security. For thesemissions different types of equipment is necessary.The Multi-Mission Bay makes it possible tostore dedicated equipment for the mentionedmultifarious missions and even more. Missionmodules (dedicated containers) can be lifted intothe Multi-Mission Bay, through the helicopter deck.If necessary, equipment stored in the missionmodules (ROV, sonar, etc.), can be lowered into thewater through the two PS and SB stern hatches.Also one of the two 9 meter RHIBs is stored in theMulti-Mission Bay. A small slipway makes ultrafastRHIB deployment possible, while sailing.Also quick recovery of the RHIB in sea states upto 6 BF is possible. A quick connecting hook takesin the RHIB quick and efficiently. A painter line issuperfluous.

NEW AVIONICSINCREASE THECHANCE OFOBSERVINGTHE KEY DETAILSOF THE SITUATIONMULTI - MISSION HANGARToday’s high-tech and pioneering OPVs have “eyes in the sky”.Surveillance from the sky is essential for taking situation awarenessto a higher level. Apart from a large helicopter, the Multi-Mission Hangarcan store an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) like the Boeing ScanEagle.Inside the Multi-Mission Hangar, the UAV can also be maintained in adedicated UAV-workshop. Launching and recovery of the UAV is carried outfrom the helicopter deck. Constant communication between the UAV andthe Multi-Mission Bridge assures that all details in the area are spotted.The new OPV can handle helicopters up to 11 tons, like the NH-90.The hangar is large enough to store large helicopters and also toexecute maintenance. Also the hangar is equipped with a helicopterspare parts store and workshop.
