Shoalbuster Siskin

Shoalbuster Siskin is the second vessel in our fleet that we took over from Damen. She is a vessel with 40-ton bollard pull but still remains a good draft to operate in the shallow waters. The vessel has proven herself over the years to be an excellent working vessel in oil & gas projects as well dredging projects. Due to her size, the Siskin is very fuel efficient and extremely qualified for shallow water operations. With her accommodation up to 7 persons in total, there are not many jobs where this vessel is not suitable for in her segment.

Anchor handling, towing, dredging support, offshore wind support and even diving support is not a problem for this powerful lady.
