Vard has delivered a new vessel built for Norwind Offshore, Norwind Maestro , which will be deployed on a German offshore wind farm.
The new commissioning service operations vessel (CSOV) is built to the VARD 4 19 design and constructed at Vard Shipyards Romania, with final outfitting, commissioning, and completion carried out at Vard Søviknes in Norway.
The shipbuilding contract was signed in October 2024 by Vard and Navigare Capital Partners, in close cooperation with Norwind Offshore, and the vessel was delivered ahead of schedule, Vard says.
