CWind has named the latest addition to its fleet of more than 20 crew transfer vessels today in Brightlingsea.
CWind Sword, the first CTruk MPC 22 to leave the CTruk boatyard, will go directly onto contract at EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm. Its high bollard pull and 16,000l fuel transfer capability will prove exceedingly useful in supporting the temporary power services CWind will continue to provide there in the coming months.
CWind Sword is owned jointly by CWind and Ventus Workboats under CWind’s unique boat share partner scheme. The three partners behind Ventus Workboats are Matthew ‘Leafy’ Lane, Lee Price and Matthew Woodley. All three are ex- Royal Marines who have chosen to move into offshore wind after leaving the Forces.
Peter Jorgensen, Managing Director CWind said “The CWind Sword, with its superior payload capability and exceptional comfort in transit, represents the next step in our ambitious logistics mix expansion programme, which will enable us to deliver a unique mix of vessels in locations across Europe that will give our customers maximum performance and value. We are delighted that the vessel will deliver outstanding benefits to our customers in both construction and O&M phases. In Ventus Workboats, we have found an experienced and seasoned partner with the determination and skills needed to deliver the best possible service to our clients.”
