A new commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) ordered by Norwind Offshore has arrived in Norway following completion of her hull at Vard Shipyards Romania.
Norwind Marin is the latest example of a series built by Vard for the same owner. The vessel's design was developed by Vard Design of Alesund to be capable of a broad range of offshore windfarm support operations, focusing on onboard logistics, security, comfort, and enhanced operability.
The CSOV is tailor-made for worldwide services, support, and maintenance operations at offshore wind farms. She is also prepared to accommodate battery packs, allowing modification for hybrid operations.
The vessel has an LOA of 85 metres, a beam of 19.5 metres, a draught of 5.5 metres, and a depth of 7.3 metres. Upon completion, it will be feature a height-adjustable boat landing system and accommodation for up to 87 personnel.
The vessel will be equipped to provide services during construction, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind farms.
The CSOV will now undergo final outfitting, installation, and commissioning at Vard Søviknes.
