Damen Shipyards has delivered a barge to the aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company Blue Origin. On September 4, the vessel arrived at its home port in Cape Canaveral, Florida, where it will support Blue Origin’s aerospace operations.

The vessel—called Jacklyn—will be deployed as a sea-based landing platform for Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket program. The vessel will serve as a solid and secure platform for rocket recoveries.

Speaking after Jacklyn’s arrival at Cape Canaveral, Damen’s Area Manager North America, Marnix Brouwer, said, “We are proud to be able to contribute to this groundbreaking space mission. We thank Blue Origin for the trust placed in the team here at Damen. We wish Blue Origin all the success with the New Glenn space program.”
