Damen Stan patrol vessel


The Dutch shipbuilding firm The Damen Group, designs
and manufactures a wide variety of vessels, including a range of related patrol vessels known generally as the Damen Stan Patrol Vessels.
The Damen Stan patrol vessel designs' names include a four digit code, where the first two digits are the vessel's length, in metres, and the second two digits are its width. Over a dozen nations have classes of vessels based on the Damen Stan 4207 patrol vessel design, which are long and wide. The United States Coast Guard's Sentinel class cutters, based on the Damen Stan 4708 patrol vessel design, are long and wide.
In the late 1990s three 41 patrol vessels were built for service in the Dutch Antilles, and experience with those vessels informed the later designs of the 4207 and 4708.
Rather than design vessels that were strictly for naval use, the underlying Damen Stan patrol vessel designs do not include weapons, or a sensor suite. The designs have been adapted for constabulary duties, and for fishery and environmental patrols. According to Sanjay Badri-Maharaj, of the -Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, described how adding an autocannon and military class sensor suite to the USCG's Sentinel class boosted its cost per vessel from $20 million USD to $65 million.
In recent years Damen has developed Damen Stan patrol vessels based on their Sea Axe bow design.
The Stan 4207 design are patrol vessels.
They are wide, and can travel at.
They are designed to carry a complement of approximately a dozen.
The Stan 4708 are long, wide, have a maximum speed of, and carry a complement of 16-24.
