More Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) have been built and are on order for the US Offshore Wind (OSW) industry. It remains to be seen how many the market will need, as there is still debate as to what types of vessels are most economical to serve OSW, whether CTVs or the much larger Service Operations Vessels (SOVs). #USMaritimeIndustry #USShipbuilding #MaritimeWorkforce #OffshoreWind #NewYork #NYSERDA #NYCEDC #Opportunity #Equity #EconomicDevelopment #WorkforceDevelopment #Equinor #CommunityOffshore #VinyardWind #Attentive_Energy #BMT #IncatCrowther #ChartwellMarine

Inbound from Dublin 🇮🇪 MPOV Multi Purpose Offshore Vessel SYMPHONY is 13 days arriving in Boston over the Notth Atlantic against prevailing winds and seas. Welcome! Owned by Jan de Nul Group of Belgium and of Luxembourg 🇱🇺 registry built 2011, gross tonnage 11,324 and 130 m X 24 m: and impressively they don’t require tugs to get into the Charlestown AutoPort where the offshore wind energy blades are made. They will need a spare one of Nantucket as it’s being used for bodyboarding there; half of it ….. the ship - I would surmise - is being utilized in the extensive offshore wind energy buildout off Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, No-Mans Land, the Elizabeth Islands Block Island Long Island and point south…. Will go on for many years….. high winds and high demand and dense population….. #offshorewind #boston #dublin #northsea #mpov #multipurposroffshorevessel #transatvoyage #windenergy #renewableenergy

#DYK? 29 Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) are being built right now to service offshore wind farms. Over two dozen of these vessels will transfer personnel and light equipment for American wind farms. These American-made CTVs, like the Atlantic Pioneer from Atlantic Wind Transfers, are being constructed in U.S. shipyards and will be crewed by American mariners.

Another milestone charter secured - as the U.S Flag Jones act Atlantic Breeze started to mobilise to the U.S. NE coast for offshore wind! The back deck of Atlantic Wind is being pulled up in readiness for a major fit out by charterers …. Installation of a full WROV spread , comprehensive survey package , accommodation units to increase capacity for 30+! This is all in conjunction with the brand new high power HPU on deck powering the newly installed 40 ton A frame, 50 ton winch and 7.5T knuckleboom crane. This is the next ship from Atlantic Oceanic LLC to mobilise into offshore wind in the U.S. NE! A complex mobilisation but evidence that the repurposed GOM O&G Jones Act fleets can be utilised in offshore wind in the U.S, employing American crews and using American shipyards to prepare. Here’s to wishing the team on board a smooth mobilisation and transit to Virginia ! #USoffshorewind #ATLANTICOCEANIC

Rovco has completed a critical unexploded ordnance (#UXO) clearance project for Iberdrola’s Windanker offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/edy4JWKM Jesus Rodriguez de diego Zamorano, Project Director for Windanker, said: “UXO investigation and clearances made with Rovco’s innovative technologies successfully contributed to the progress and safety of the Windanker project.” Marc Coull, Director of O&M at Rovco, noted: “This UXO project with Iberdrola represents a landmark for our construction support services. We are excited to have deployed our advanced UXO solutions in Germany, furthering offshore wind development in the Baltic Sea.” Kris Moeckell, Head of Construction Support at Rovco, added: “UXO risk mitigation is crucial for wind farm development and the clean energy transition. By integrating our advanced ROVs with cutting-edge sensors, we mitigate UXO threats and secure construction schedules for projects like Windanker.” More News At Workboat365.com Subscribe To The Workboat365 LinkedIn Weekly News https://lnkd.in/eMY2JUnT Iberdrola Renewables | #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy #commercialmarine #maritimeindustry #maritime #marine #marineindustry

Another milestone reached this week with the launching of NB 966 for Edda Wind at Vard Shipyards Romania - Braila. 💥 The launching of the Commissioning Service Operation Vessel happened 9 days earlier than the initial plan. The vessel of VARD 4 25 design is the second of four vessels we are delivering to Edda Wind. Did you know that:  👉 The new VARD 4 25 design is developed to meet Edda Wind’s high focus on flexibility, operability, efficient logistics and environmental-friendly solutions.  👉 The vessel is designed with VARD’s new hull form for optimized seakeeping abilities and low fuel consumption. 👉 The series of vessels will be prepared for green fuels and energy carriers and will have the flexibility to adapt to various types of fuels in the future. 👉 The CSOVs will be equipped with the latest technology for energy efficient HVAC, power generation and propellers. The outfitting and delivery will be from Vard Brattvaag, Norway. The delivery is scheduled to Q1 2025. #shipbuilding #integratedvaluechain #greenfuels #sustainablefuture #oneteam

🔟🎉The U.S. offshore wind industry hit another milestone yesterday! St. Johns Ship Building, Inc. Shipbuilding launched its WINDEA Enterprise vessel, making it the 10th new-build CTV launch for the industry (and the fifth this year). U.S. shipbuilders are abuzz with activity constructing new vessels and retrofitting old ones to serve near-term projects as the offshore wind industry moves into full scale operation. CTVs are the workhorses of the industry and St. John's Shipbuilding is a prime example of the jobs and economic development offshore wind energy is bringing to communities across the U.S.! Keep 👀, #DYK 16 more have already been announced? 👏🏼 Offshore wind is working and so are American shipyards! 👏🏼⛴️

Removing #Drydock Requirement for #FSRU   The combined implications of geopolitical challenges, the #EnergyTransition and the drive for minimising environmental impact have led to a rapid increase in the number of FSRUs servicing national energy requirements globally.   Moored alongside a wharf close to an onshore LNG plant and/or a gas-fired power station, or near shore with pipeline connectivity, they are so positioned to fulfil their operational task.   Coming off station and in to drydock for mandated survey, maintenance, repair or upgrade will mean that operational task will not be fulfilled, with significant financial implications; this course of action was how FPSOs had to start.   Technology encouraged by the HITS JIP has transformed the #FPSO industry's views on diving and in the process become safer and more productive; EM&I Group has developed techniques for survey and now repair which remove requirement for drydock, allowing #diverless survey, #remote tank #inspection, and complex underwater repair without the need for drydock, minimising human intervention and enabling continuing fulfilment of those operational tasks.   ODIN diverless underwater services, NoMan EXTRA remote inspection techniques and other innovative techniques will enable FSRUs to remain on station, fulfilling energy requirements. No drydock, safely and effectively. https://lnkd.in/gRTJ-EdJ
