The Damen Stan Patrol 3007 is a design for 30 metre patrol vessels prepared by the Damen Group -- a Netherlands based shipping conglomerate.[1][2] Unlike other patrol vessel designs from Damon, like the 42 meter designs, which have a planing hull, the 30 meter designs have an "axe bow".

Damon was contracted to supply vessels of three classes to The Bahamas, in 2012, including four 30 meter vessels of the 3007 design.[1][2] The vessel's patrol range will be 2000 nautical miles at 10 knots. Like many of its other designs the Bahamanian vessels were equipped with a stern launching ramp, that allows a jet boat to be deployed and retrieved without having to bring the vessel to a stop.
