25 slim Newthex hatches on board zero emission propulsion Damen Ferries

The city of Copenhagen has upgraded their public transport service, making it cleaner and more sustainable. Movia issued the public tender and subsequently selected Damen as its vessel supplier. The vessels are based on Damen’s E3 philosophy – environmentally friendly, efficient in operation and economically viable.

Flush watertight hatches

As on board comfort was an important factor for Movia, Newthex designed a watertight hatch which sits flush in the floor and is convenient to walk on.

An extra slim design was necessary as a safety feature for passengers wearing high heels. All 5 vessels are equipped with 5 of these slim Newthex hatches which grant access to the maintenance areas of the vessel.

The fully electric passenger ferry is able to operate all day with fast charging en route.

Newthex will fulfill its scope of supply in April 2021. The doors it will supply are tailor-made for the CSS. They are of a high standard and are both water and gas tight and are fire-rated.

Newthex delivers Double Flush Hatches for OceanXplorer

After a two-year rebuild at Damen Shipyards the 87 metres long deep-sea research vessel OceanXplorer was launched. For this high-tech vessel Newthex delivered two large Double Flush Hatches.

 

To create high quality films and documentaries while at sea OceanXplorer uses a helicopter, submarines and ROVs. To fuel the helicopter and other equipment OceanXplorer has 4 large removable fuel tanks which are stored beneath the deck.

 

 

Each Newthex hatch is more than 4 metres wide and grants access to the fuel storage compartment. The hatches sit flush in the upper deck to benefit the loading process of the large shipping containers which can be stored on the same deck. More info about Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam and OceanXplorer can be found here.

Next doors for Tankoa S501 super yacht

This week Tankoa Yachts launched their latest 50-metre superyacht Binta D’Or at their shipyard in Genoa Italy. For this all aluminum superyacht Newthex delivered a complete range of Watertight Next Doors to protect the potentially vulnerable interior spaces and critical systems.

 

With Tankoa Yachts Newthex has a successful long record of delivering watertight doors and hatches which they implement in their designs. All Newthex Next Doors and Watertight hatches are pressure tested prior to dispatch and can be certified by all major classification societies.

 

Why Next watertight doors for superyachts?

Interesting to know is that instead of the typical handwheel driven watertight yacht doors, Newthex Next watertight doors are fit with a single handle. In combination with our patented NEXT closing system the Newthex Next watertight hinged door can be operated with one hand instead of two. This benefits the user and saves time in most situations.

  • Next Doors are equipped with pirate- and thief-proof hinges. When the doors are closed the door can not be lifted off or disconnected from the hinges.
  • As an option Next Doors can be equipped with door handles which light up in the dark.
  • The smooth Next Door design reduces the risk to be hooked or to get hurt while passing the door.

World debut at Monaco Yacht Show

The Binta D’Or, also known as Tankoa S501 Hybrid is now undergoing dock and sea trials so she can successfully be delivered to her European owner to debut at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show.
