BMT has been awarded a contract from Windserve Marine to design two advanced Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) for the expanding US offshore wind industry. The vessels will be deployed to service Ørsted’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project.BMT has designed the new 20 metre CTV specifically for East Coast conditions with manoeuvrability, performance and redundancy in mind whilst reaching a top speed in the region of 28 knots. Carrying 20 passengers, plus 4 crew, the first CTV will be delivered early next year and is already under construction, with the second earmarked for late 2020.
