Windward Offshore has taken delivery of its first Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV), Windward Athens, built by VARD in Norway. The 87.5-metre vessel, with a beam of 19.5 metres, is designed for installation, commissioning and maintenance work at offshore wind farms.
It can accommodate up to 120 people and is equipped with a motion-compensated gangway, advanced crane systems and hybrid propulsion prepared for future operation on green methanol. Windward Athens is being prepared to support offshore wind projects in Europe and will begin operations immediately under its first charter with RWE.
