Kleven inngjekk nyleg ein kontrakt med Nordnes om å byggje om trål-/snurrevadskipet 'Nordbas', Forskipet vart frakta frå Solstrand Verft, Tomrefjord, til Kleven i Ulsteinvik ved hjelp av lekteren og dei to multiwheelarane frå Ulstein si tungløftsavdeling.
Då Kleven i september 2019 skreiv avtale med reiarlaget NordnesGruppen på ombygging av eit trål-/snurrevadfartøy, var det tungløftsavdelinga i Ulstein som fekk oppdraget med å frakte skroget til Kleven i Ulsteinvik.
Tungløftsavdelinga til Ulstein Verft disponerer to multiwheelerar av typen Goldhofer SPMT (self-propelled module transporters) for å kunne flytte tyngre kolli. Desse vert typisk frakta på vår 'Flex' lekter saman med mobilkrana vår på oppdrag langs kysten.
On Tuesday, 24 March, a large-scale rescue exercise was carried out off the coast of Lofoten, Norway, testing a new emergency towing system for ships. The cruise vessel MS Spitsbergen, with 150 passengers on board, the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Barentshav, and the 330 Squadron’s SAR Queen rescue helicopter took part.
How can you be confident that a new vessel design will actually perform in rough seas and demanding operations? The answer lies in thorough verification, independent testing and documented performance. Recently, a new Ulstein design for a cable-laying vessel was tested in a large-scale ocean basin at SINTEF Ocean. The results delivered exactly what Ulstein seeks: confidence that the design performs as intended.
On 11 March 2026, Ulstein Verft, Norway, delivered the Windea Carnot, a Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV). The vessel was built on behalf of an institutional investor and has now been handed over to its new owner, Bernhard Schulte Offshore (BSO).
