On December 15, 2014, a launching ceremony was held at the terminal in Emden’s outer harbour for a further Windea catamaran that is entering service under the German flag.
The ship’s godmother Miranda van Laar-Prikkel, wife of co-partner Paul van Laar from IJmuiden in the Netherlands , gave the “Twin Axe Bow” type catamaran from Damen Shipyards the name “WINDEA THREE” and wished: “Safe voyages for the crew and always a handbreadth of water under the keel for the ship.” This manoeuvrable Crew Transfer and Service Vessel, CTSV for short, will be transporting both personnel and materials to the offshore wind farms.
