Thursday 15 February 2018 saw the start-up of Ulstein Verft's next shipbuilding project for Acta Marine. The steelcutting ceremony was held at Crist at 10 a.m., a ceremony which marks the beginning of a newbuild project. The vessel is sister vessel to Acta Auriga, which is currently under construction at Ulstein Verft.
The contract of the shipbuilding project was announced at the OSJ offshore wind conference in London, one week prior to the steel cutting ceremony.
This SX195 design is a DP2 Walk to Work Construction Support Vessel (CSV) for the offshore industry. These ship designs are flexible and attractive for work within areas such as O&M (Operation and Maintenance) or construction support, especially in challenging weather and sea conditions.
Construction of the first of two advanced fibre-optic cable-laying vessels for OMS Group, the CS Resilience, officially began with a steel-cutting ceremony on 7 July 2026. The hulls are being built by CRIST, Poland, and will be completed, outfitted and commissioned at Ulstein Verft, Norway.
A front-row seat to the TWIN X-STERN® series: Onboard a typical CSOV, the ship's hospital is stocked with seasickness tablets and dry biscuits for technicians unaccustomed to offshore conditions. On Windea Carnot, demand for seasickness remedies is nearly zero. Instead, the three-flavour ice cream machine has become one of the most popular features.
Bernhard Schulte Offshore (BSO) continues to grow its modern offshore wind fleet with the addition of Windea Clarke, further strengthening its position in the global energy market. Delivered from Ulstein Verft on 2 July 2026, the vessel marks another milestone in BSO’s ambitious fleet development programme.
