The vessel is the first Damen Sea Axe vessel to operate in South Africa where, along with its sister ships, its primary role will be to counter piracy, illegal fishing and smuggling operations. However, their ability to accommodate at short notice containerized mission modules gives them a true multi-mission capability. The patented design delivers exceptional seakeeping behaviour with the straight-edged bow cutting through the water thereby improving comfort and safety while reducing emissions and fuel consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mmipv-delivery-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8980 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mmipv-delivery-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mmipv-delivery-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mmipv-delivery-1-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"\">The MMIPV project is also playing an important role in creating skilled new jobs and acting as a catalyst for the development of regional supply chains. On its own, the MMIPV project is expected to generate more than one million man-hours of work during the construction of the three MMIPVs and will support more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs at Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT). In addition, the yard is also focusing on nurturing small businesses to maximise local content.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"\">Mr Sam Montsi, Chairman of the Damen Shipyards Cape Town Board, commented: \u201cThe delivery is a significant milestone in the story of Damen Shipyards Cape Town. It is the first time that a naval vessel of this calibre has been built at the yard and it is also the first of its class! Despite the COVID 19 pandemic, this beautiful vessel has been built to the required quality level which is an achievement that was realised by South African people, as most of the work and materials that went into the construction were sourced locally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"\">\u201cThe yard has significantly grown during this process both in the quality of work and the safety standards achieved.
