🌊 Our August 2024 North Sea & Baltic Survey Vessel Availability Report is now available. "Through the months of June and July, we saw an uncharacteristic increase in the availability of both DP and non-DP tonnage. However, through the month of August, there has been a return to the tightness in availability that was expected throughout the summer 2024 season." Should you have any upcoming requirements that you wish to discuss further or if there is interest in the charter of the listed vessels, please feel free to contact Miles Wakeling to discuss. A big thank you to FreeStar Subsea Services for providing the cover photo of Navicula Star. #survey #geotechnical #geophysical #surveyvessel #offshore #renewables #offshoreconstruction #vessels #chartering #shipbroker

🚢 The August 2024 issue of our North Sea CSOV/SOV Availability Report is now available. Charterers continue to focus on projects and upcoming campaigns for next year and those thereafter. With some expected new-build delays, the market will remain competitive for 2025, which is being recognised and chartering strategies adopted.

🆕Hybrid CSV coming to the market in 2027. It's great to see another operator updating their fleet by adding a new hybrid offshore construction support vessel. The energy-efficient vessel will be equipped to support a wide range of offshore operations, including inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR), construction, walk-to-work services and cable laying. https://lnkd.in/d-AYWDGT #OSV #newvessel #offshoresupportvessel #marine #offshore #hybridvessel #vesseldesign

🚁 Cargo drones supporting maintenance work at offshore wind farm. In the first O&M campaign of its kind, cargo drones are being used to transport up to 100kg (each) of evacuation and safety equipment from a ship to the turbines at Borssele 1&2 offshore wind farm, potentially reducing each cargo journey by several hours. CSO Shipbrokers are pleased to have been able to support this pioneering project. Could cargo drones become the standard for transporting equipment to and from offshore wind farm turbines? Not only could they reduce ship emissions during maintenance operations, but they could also improve safety for offshore workers and significantly reduce project completion times. https://lnkd.in/d7uwKvS2 #heavylift #cargodrones #marine #maritime #marineinnovation #offshorewind #offshoremaintenance

🛳️ A new energy construction vessel (ECV) is heading to the market The ECV, scheduled for delivery in 2027, is the first vessel of its kind, developed specifically to operate in both oil & gas and renewables markets. The 111.5-metre vessel will work on various subsea and topside projects, including IRM, construction and installation scopes. The vessel will feature a motion-compensated gangway to support walk-to-work operations, while a 150-tonne movement-compensated crane will extend its capability to work on various renewable energy projects. https://lnkd.in/dv7_4yZQ #Norwind #Vard #newvessel #ECV #WindEnergy #offshorewind #subsea

7️⃣ new zero-emission tugboats heading to the market. All seven electric, battery-powered vessels will be built to the ElectRA 2500 SX design specification. They will use onboard energy storage systems to achieve 70 tonnes bollard pull and operate at a top speed of 12 knots. Reducing vessel emissions has become a key concern for port and terminal operators, and once widely adopted, this new tugboat design should help achieve these goals. https://lnkd.in/evSGCtjt #tugboat #newvessel #electricvessel #electrictug #sustainablevessel #vesseldesign
