Edda Wind, owned 50/50 between Wilhelmsen and Østensjø, has launched an initial public offering (IPO) on the Oslo Stock Exchange with plans to use the proceeds to support its existing offshore wind vessel newbuilding programme, as well as to back potential further newbuild opportunities.

“This listing will enable Edda Wind to further scale its ambitions and continue to shape their market as the leading provider of purpose-built, zero emission ready vessels for the offshore wind industry”, said Jan Eyvin Wang , Executive Vice President of Wilhelmsen’s New Energy segment.
