Damen has laid the keel for Herman Senior’s MPV 4916 Smokey, which is described as the first-in-series vessel that is prepared for a sustainable future, featuring the Damen Marine NOX reduction system, a selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) that lowers both noise and emissions in a single, compact unit and allows compliance with IMO Tier III requirements.
This ship is perceived to be prepared for conversion to either full electric or hybrid methanol propulsion in the future.
