Stan Tender 1905 "Papa"

The Tanzania Ports Authority took delivery of its new Damen Stan Tender 1905, ‘Papa’, on August 20, 2010. With a speed of 22 knots, the pilot boat is now serving the Port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's main port. Excellent seakeeping behaviour and pilot safety were the main design parameters incorporated into the Stan Tender 1905. Since 1982 the Tanzania Ports Authority has successfully operated a large fleet of Damen tugs and pilot boats. ‘Papa’ was built at Damen Shipyards Gorinchem.
