First X-Stern goes to work at Gemini

摘要

The distinctive X-Stern, devised by Norwegian ship designers and builders Ulstein, is now providing feedback in commercial use as the 'Windea La Cour' has entered service at the Gemini offshore wind farm. On sea trials the ship managed to keep a speed of 12.1 knots astern compared to 13.95 knots ahead. According to Ulstein, this capability increases flexibility when manoeuvring within the wind farm.
