        达门造船（Damen Shipyards）为其广受欢迎的快速船员供应船（FCS）船员转运船系列增添了新成员。FCS 3210 Hybrid 的设计目的是将技术人员运送到比以往任何时候都离岸更远的新一代风电场。新船以达门现有的快速船员供应船 2710 为基础，但长度增加了 5 米，达到 32 米。它的设计也着眼于未来。

        增加的长度不仅提高了它的海上保持能力，还确保了为未来的低碳或零碳推进系统及其燃料箱提供自由空间。在最初的设计中，FCS 3210 Hybrid 将采用柴电动力装置。

        四台柴油发电机组将产生电力，为传动系统提供动力，并为船载电池充电。从一开始就采用全电力驱动系统，可以最大限度地提高船东在转向使用替代燃料时的灵活性，而电池则可以使船舶在需要时实现零排放，在长时间、低速、低排放作业时，只需使用一台发电机组就可以为其充电。

        为了进一步减少排放，船舶还可以在有岸电的地方连接岸电，为电池充电，并为酒店系统提供电力。

        柴电动力装置可确保必要的电力基础设施到位，以处理船舶运行可能需要的所有电力。这使得船东可以灵活选择实际的供电系统。目前是由四台柴油发电机组和电池供电，但将来可以升级为更大的电池、燃料电池、甲醇发电机组或上述设备的组合。

        事实上，灵活性是整艘船的一大特点。达门还根据每个船东的要求设计了机舱，使其可以接受沃尔沃IPS、固定螺距螺旋桨、可控螺距螺旋桨和喷水装置。

        FCS 3210 Hybrid 在近岸作业时最多可搭载 14 名船员和 28 名技术人员。对于长达一周的远洋部署，它的五个船舱可容纳 10 名船员，下甲板上的另外两个船舱可容纳 4 名船员。该船的航程可达 1200 海里，柴油/电力推进时最高航速可达 24 节，全电力推进时最高航速可达 14 节，因此完全能够胜任长途任务。

        与较小的同类产品相比，较大的船体使其在较高海况下的航行更加平稳，进一步提高了灵活性。

        达门造船公司设计与提案工程师 Ruben de Jong 说："随着多格滩风力发电厂于 10 月初首次发电，对此类船舶的需求现已成为现实。"建成后，其 277 台 13 兆瓦风力涡轮机将平均距离英国东海岸 160 公里。它和世界各地的类似项目都需要快速、经济的支持船"。

        FCS 3210 Hybrid 保留了 FCS 2710 的许多成功之处。不过，由于船体更大，再加上 FCS 2710 运营商的反馈意见，FCS 3210 Hybrid 又有了许多改进。其中包括一个更大的衣物和其他装备湿放室，船尾的甲板空间也可用于集装箱式设备存放。

        舰桥甲板也进行了扩建，增加了两个舱室和一间办公室。不过，与 FCS 2710 一样，人员和设备的转移仍然通过前甲板进行。

        Ruben de Jong 继续说："FCS 3210 Hybrid 将成为我们快速船员供应商系列的重要补充，我们已经从 Purus Wind 公司获得了三艘船的订单，将于 2026 年初交付，并将批量建造以加快交付速度。

Damen Shipyards introduces the new Fast Crew Supplier 3210 Hybrid

Damen Shipyards is introducing a new addition to its popular Fast Crew Supplier (FCS) crew transfer vessel range. The FCS 3210 Hybrid has been designed to transport technicians to the new generation of wind farms that are being built further offshore than ever before. The new vessel is based on Damen’s existing FCS 2710 but at 32 metres in length it is five metres longer. It has also been designed looking ahead to the future.

The additional length not only increases its sea-keeping capabilities, it also ensures that free space will be available for future, low or zero carbon propulsion systems and their fuel tanks. In its initial design the FCS 3210 Hybrid will have a diesel-electric power plant.

Four diesel gensets will generate electricity to both power the drive trains and charge the onboard batteries. Having a fully electric drive train from the outset will maximize flexibility for owners when they come to make the move to alternative fuels, and the batteries will allow the vessel to operate with zero emissions when required and can be charged using just one genset for extended, low speed, low-emissions operations.

To further minimise emissions, the vessels will be able to connect to shore power where available to charge the batteries as well as provide electricity for their hotel systems.

The diesel-electric power plant ensures that the necessary electrical infrastructure is in place to handle all the power that may be required to operate the vessel. This gives owners flexibility in selecting the actual systems that they use to supply the power. At present this is done by the four diesel gensets and batteries, but in the future they can be upgraded to bigger batteries, fuel cells, methanol gensets or a combination of the above.

In fact, flexibility is a feature throughout the vessel. Damen has also designed the machine room so that it can accept Volvo IPS, Fixed Pitch Propellers, Controllable Pitch Propellers and waterjets, according to each owner’s requirements.

The FCS 3210 Hybrid can carry up to 14 crew and 28 technicians for near shore operations. For long range deployments out to sea lasting up to a week it has berths for ten personnel in five cabins with the option of another two cabins on the lower deck accommodating another four personnel. With a range of up to 1200 nautical miles it is more than capable of handling long distance assignments, aided by a top speed of 24 knots using diesel / electric propulsion and 14 knots on full electric.

The larger hull makes the journey smoother in higher sea states than smaller equivalents, further enhancing its flexibility.

“The need for vessels of this type is now a reality, with the Dogger Bank Wind Farm producing electricity for the first time in early October,” says Ruben de Jong, Design & Proposal Engineer at Damen Shipbuilding. “On completion its 277, 13 MW wind turbines will be on average 160 kilometres off the UK’s east coast. It and similar projects around the world will require fast, economical support vessels.”

The FCS 3210 Hybrid retains many of the features that have made the FCS 2710 a success. However, the larger hull together with feedback from operators of the FCS 2710 has enabled a number of additional enhancements. These include a larger wet room for clothing and other gear, and there is also deck space available at the stern that can be used for containerised storage of equipment.

The bridge deck has been extended to take two additional cabins plus a ship’s office. Like the FCS 2710, however, personnel and equipment transfers are still made via the foredeck.

“The FCS 3210 Hybrid will be a valuable addition to our Fast Crew Supplier range,” continues Ruben de Jong. “We already have an order for three vessels from Purus Wind for delivery in early 2026 and will be building them in series for accelerated delivery.”
