New SOV is tailored to meet far-North Sea requirements

摘要

The latest in a number of service operation vessels (SOVs) for Danish shipowner Esvagt is intended for the Deutsche Bucht offshore windfarm in German waters, where it will provide a base for technicians who will service the MHI Vestas Offshore Wind turbines under a 15-year contract. The contract is the longest in Esvagt's history and its largest in terms of value and will commence later in 2019. Esvagt has usually tailored the design and operation of its SOVs to the needs of the offshore windfarms they service, and the vessel for Deutsche Bucht is no exception. As the company's new head of business development for offshore wind, Thomas Fauerby, explained recently, Esvagt likes to "think radically and innovatively" and "develop and create innovations" to make sure its customers get the right solutions for long-term SOV contracts such as the one for Deutsche Bucht.
