On 2 January, yard number 322, a commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV), was towed out from the dock hall to the outer dock. The yard's heavy-lift department mounted the tower on the newbuild using its powerful crawler crane, with a lifting capacity of up to 600 tonnes. On 7 January, the vessel was towed further out to sea and moored alongside the quay. At the same time, the sister vessel, hull number 323, was docked in the dock hall for further work.
About the vessels
Yard numbers 322/323 are based on Ulstein’s SX222 design featuring the TWIN X-STERN® solution. This technology provides high fuel efficiency and reduced motion for safer, more comfortable offshore operations. The vessels are powered by a hybrid battery and prepared for green methanol, making them future-ready for low-emission solutions. Equipped with a motion-compensated gangway, a lift tower, a 3D crane, and optimised logistics, the vessels provide a flexible platform for operations and maintenance (O&M) and support for construction work at offshore wind farms.
