Edda Wind takes delivery of 88m CSOV from Spanish yard

Norwegian offshore wind service support provider Edda Wind has taken delivery of a new commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) built by Spanish shipyard Gondan.

Austri Enabler is a sister vessel of Edda Breeze, which was delivered to Edda Wind in 2022, and of Sudri Enabler and Vestri Enabler, which were handed over in 2024.

Designed by Salt Ship Design, the vessel measures 88.3 by 19.7 metres and can house 97 technicians and 23 crewmembers. The onboard equipment includes a 3D-compensated crane, a motion-compensated offshore gangway, an integrated lift with a capacity of 26 people, and a helicopter deck.

The accommodation spaces include a galley, four offices, two conference rooms, a day room, a recreation room, and a medical bay. Also available on board are a waste management system and rescue equipment.

Austri Enabler has secured a 12-month (plus options) contract following delivery and will commence operation outside the UK in the third quarter of this year.
