Over the summer, several hands contributed to put Siemens’ service operation vessels (SOVs) into shape. The first SOV hull has been built at the Cemre shipyard in Turkey. It arrived at the Havyard shipyard in Norway in August – its final building site. Soon, the first SOV will be ready for docking out and first sea trials.
Meanwhile the second SOV hull was launched in Turkey at the end of September, and then began the towing operation to Norway. If everything goes according to plan, the two vessels will leave Norway early next year and become operational at the Baltic II and Butendiek offshore wind farms in Germany.
