A New Addition
Damen Shipyards Group has delivered the Shoalbuster 3209 vessel, named “Al Mirfa,” to SAFEEN Group, a subsidiary of AD Ports Group. The vessel is set to bolster SAFEEN’s capabilities in buoy maintenance, towing, and other support activities in the Arabian Gulf.
Ideal for Buoy Maintenance

Damen Shipyards Group CEO Arnout Damen welcomed SAFEEN Group’s delegation for the vessel’s naming ceremony. This marks a continued partnership, with Damen’s service hub at Albwardy Damen in the UAE set to provide aftersales support for SAFEEN’s expanding fleet, reaffirming the trust and reliability between the two entities.
