The development of the well-known ‘Damen Stan Tug’ range of tug-workboats has a history that dates back to the formation of Damen Shipyards as we know it today. In those early days, commencing in1969, among the most important products selected as ‘standard’ designs for serial production were the Pushy Cat and original versions of the Stan Tug. The Pushy Cat and the Stan Tug 1 became extremely popular, particularly in the dredging and marine construction industries. Early examples of both are still in operation and are a tribute to those original designs.
Although over four decades Damen has evolved into a massive shipbuilding group, it maintains a very close relationship with its clients in the towage, dredging and marine construction industries. In that way the company continually reacts to feedback from its customers and progressively refines established designs and introduces new vessels to meet the operators’ demands. That is especially true of the Damen Stan Tug range in which almost every vessel has been replaced or modernised in recent years.
The smaller tug/workboats in the Stan Tug are the latest vessels to receive the attention from the Damen Tugs & Workboats project team. After careful studies and market research it was decided to discontinue the Pushy Cat 1204 series and the Stan Tug 1404 and offer one brand new design in their place, the Damen Stan Tug 1205.
