With the addition of Windea Clarke , BSO has completed a series of four CSOVs that have joined its fleet since mid-2025, bringing the company’s total offshore fleet to seven vessels.
Built to Ulstein’s SX222 design, the vessel features the shipbuilder’s TWIN X-STERN solution, hybrid battery propulsion and a methanol-ready design. It has also received DNV’s SILENT-E class notation for reduced underwater radiated noise.
Like its sister vessels, Windea Clarke is equipped with a height-adjustable walk-to-work gangway, a 3D motion-compensated crane, a height-adjustable boat landing system and a helideck to support offshore wind construction, commissioning and operations activities.
The vessel is named after electrical engineer Edith Clarke and continues Bernhard Schulte Offshore’s naming convention adopted across the four-vessel series, which honours pioneering scientists.
