CMB.TECH’s Windcat has ordered six Elevation Series commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs) which will be powered by hydrogen.
After securing the order with Damen Shipyards, Windcat has partnered with Anglo-Eastern for the technical and crewing management of the vessels. The six vessels will be constructed at Ha Long Shipyard in Vietnam, with Windcat expected to operate the first CSOV in 2025.
The 87-metre-long vessels will remain in offshore wind farms for up to 30 days, providing maintenance materials and accommodation for up to 90 technicians. They will be equipped with dual-fuel hydrogen engines to enable sustainable travel.
Anglo-Eastern will provide its technical consulting arm (AETS) to the initiative, which will support the project oversight, technical consulting and fleet optimisation, ensuring “successful delivery and operation of these state-of-the-art, hydrogen-powered vessels.”
