The Elevation Series CSOVs, designed by Damen in collaboration with Windcat and CMB.TECH, will be deployed by Windcat to provide in-field technical and maintenance support to offshore wind farms for up to 30 days at a time.
The 87-metre-long vessel can accommodate 120 people on board. The CSOV will be equipped with dual-fuel hydrogen technology, which could reduce CO2 emissions.
“We are especially proud of the efficiency gains that this vessel is expected to deliver. The hybrid-electric propulsion system coupled with an efficient power distribution system means that there will be no need to run a backup diesel generator and the vessel will never use more power than necessary”, said Joost van der Weiden , Damen Sales Manager Benelux.
“And we have optimized the thruster configuration, enhancing the dynamic positioning during transfer operations. All in all, we expect innovations like these to add up to substantial reductions in fuel consumption and, therefore, emissions.”
