The ship was the winner of the OSJ Offshore Renewables Award 2014. This Prize is awarded to a company, project or product that has made a significant contribution to the development of the offshore renewables market.
'Siem Moxie', (now: Seaway Moxie), an installation support vessel (ISV)/Service Operation Vessel (SOV) of the SX163 design, was contracted by Siem Offshore. The hull was built at Ada Shipyard, Turkey, and completed at Fjellstrand, Norway. The vessel was delivered in 2014. Changed owner and name in 2018. More about the vessel.
The total number of walk-to-work (w2w) vessel designs and redesigns by Ulstein now count 22, of which 14 are currently in operation. In average, these vessels perform repair and maintenance on more than 5,000 turbines – every year!
That makes a stunning 95,000+ gangway connections!
Three of Ulstein's designs are among the Work Boat World Awards 2024 winners. Tamhae 3 clinched the 'Best Large Research Vessel' award, Olympic Boreas was named 'Best CSOV', and JSD 6000 took home the 'Best Derrick Layer' accolade from Baird Maritime/Work Boat World. These awards celebrate the best vessels in their categories, judged on design, build quality, and functionality.
The collaboration between thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (tkMS) and Ulstein is a strategic boost for the Norwegian maritime industry, tkMS being one of four remaining contenders in a major maritime project. This is the only European alternative that includes building in Norway.
