The first of two service operation vessels for the offshore wind industry being constructed for Bernhard Schulte Offshore has been launched in Norway.
Once delivered, the vessel will be working for Siemens servicing the Gemini offshore wind park offshore the Netherlands.
The vessels have accommodation for 60 persons in single cabins, of which 40 cabins are dedicated to technicians.
The final arrangements and equipment for the vessels have been developed and specified in cooperation with Windea Offshore, which is Bernhard Schulte Offshore's affiliate for offshore wind projects.
The 88-metre support vessel can reach 13.5 knots, has a deadweight of 3,150 tonnes and has a specially designed hull to increase stability when next to a wind turbine.
