The first delivery, in 2021<\/a>, comprised two vessels, Waterpieper and Waterhoen, and took place simultaneously with the delivery of a third patrol vessel, P55, to the Amsterdam Police.<\/p>\nThen, in 2023, Damen handed over two more Patrol Vessels 1304 Electric, named Watersnip and Watertrapper, to the city. The vessels are operated by the city\u2019s Toezicht en Handhaving Openbare Ruimte (THOR) (supervision and enforcement in public spaces) division.<\/p>\n
Patrol and preservation
\nThe vessels patrol Amsterdam\u2019s canal network, ensuring that traffic adheres to local maritime regulations and speed limits and checking the permits of docked vessels. The Patrol Vessels 1304 Electric operate with minimal noise and zero emissions, thereby preserving the character of the historic urban environment.<\/p>\n
The Damen Patrol Vessel 1304 Electric is 13.4 metres in length and can achieve speeds of up to 16 kilometres an hour. It features a single 130-kilowatt electric motor and a 273-kilowatt-hour battery package. Operating at average speed, the vessel can sail for a full day on a single charge.<\/p>\n
Continued trust
\nLeon Fijnekam, Commercial Manager at Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld, said, \u201cWe are delighted to once again be cooperating with the City of Amsterdam. This delivery marks the completion of the third order of Damen Patrol Vessels 1304 Electric from the City of Amsterdam, following a competitive tender process. I would like to thank the city authority for the trust that they continue to place in us and in our solutions. We are proud that these clean, quiet vessels are able to play a part in preserving the character of this iconic city.\u201d<\/p>\n
