Explore our portfolio of anchor handling & tug vessel design.
Explore the dynamic capabilities of Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) and Oceangoing Tug Vessels, the stalwarts of the marine world. AHTS vessels excel in versatility and power, offering precise rig and platform positioning, robust towing strength, and substantial deck space for critical maritime operations. Their strong bollard pull makes them indispensable in demanding offshore environments.
In concert, Oceangoing Tugs demonstrate exceptional long-distance towing prowess in open waters. These vessels are critical for ensuring maritime safety, adept at towing disabled ships and conducting salvage operations efficiently and reliably.
AHTS and Oceangoing Tugs form the backbone of marine support, safeguarding operations in even the most challenging seas.
Cutting-edge solutions that optimise vessel performance and enhance operational efficiency.
Turning visions into realities motivates us to keep pushing for progress in the maritime industry.

The Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel (AHTS) "Odin Viking" arrived at Ulstein Verft on 1 February 2025 to install a brand-new Launch & Recovery system (L-LARS) from Evotec, a supplier based in Ulsteinvik.
Offshore wind farms are currently serviced using Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) or helicopters for day operations, and Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) for extended periods. What if there were a CAPEX-smart design that reduces building costs by over 50% compared to an SOV and supplement the SOVs on most tasks?
Penta-Ocean Construction, a prominent Japanese general contractor, has commissioned Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. to design its new heavy lift vessel for offshore wind foundation installation. The customised ULSTEIN HX118 design will feature a 5,000-ton Huisman main crane and the ULSTEIN U-STERN™, which enables the installation of increasingly larger monopile foundations.
In a landmark deal, Ulstein Design & Solutions AS has secured its largest aftermarket design contract to date for the cable-laying vessel Orient Adventurer. The contract, awarded by Dong Fang Offshore (DFO), involves both basic design and engineering provided by several of the companies in Ulstein.
In close collaboration with Heerema, Ulstein Design & Solutions BV has provided engineering services for integrating the innovative motion-compensated gripper frame (MCGF) on Heerema Marine Contractors’ ‘SSCV Thialf’. This technology is key to efficiently installing large monopiles for offshore wind farms, driving progress in the renewable energy sector. The semi-submersible crane vessel is essential in advancing offshore wind technology, aiding the construction of future wind farms essential for the global energy transition.
