NG Shipyards to build second windfarm crewboat in series for Coastwise Offshore

Dutch companies Coastwise Offshore Services and Next Generation Shipyards have entered into an agreement for the construction of the second unit in a series of aluminium-hulled offshore windfarm crewboats.

The vessel’s design is expected to provide the stability of a traditional catamaran and the speed and fuel efficiency of a monohull. It will have a length of 27 metres, space for 30 passengers and 22 tonnes of cargo, a deck crane, and a cruising speed of 27 knots.

The crewboat will be named COS Mate following delivery to Coastwise in the middle of 2022.

Commercial management will be delegated to SeaZip Offshore Service.
