Fincantieri reports that its Norwegian subsidiary Vard has signed a contract with an undisclosed international customer for the design and construction of two CSOVs (Commissioning Service Operation Vessels), with an option for a third vessel. The value of the contract is considered as large, with a value between 100 million and 200 million euros.
The vessels, intended for offshore wind farm operations, are based on the upgraded Vard 4 19 design, developed by Vard Design in Ålesund, Norway. The design has been customized to the customer’s needs to give environmental benefits, featuring a hull optimized for low fuel consumption, high operability and onboard comfort. The hybrid battery propulsion system allows for periods of zero-emission operation, provides additional peak power when required, and ensures an energy-efficient profile across all activities. In line with sustainability goals, the vessels are also prepared for future methanol operation.
The two CSOVs will each be equipped with a 30-meter electric controlled motion compensated
