Milestones for Bernhard Schulte Offshore CSOVs

The two Ulstein-designed CSOV newbuilds under construction for Bernhard Schulte Offshore have reached important milestones. The steel cutting and keel laying ceremonies for yno 321 and 320, respectively, were arranged at the Crist hull yard, Poland, on 30 January 2024.

  • NB320 3627 keel laying
  • NB320 3607 keel laying
  • NB321 3584 steelcutting
  • NB321 3561 steelcutting
  • NB321 3524 steelcutting
  • NB321 3553 steelcutting
  • NB321 3589 steelcutting
  • NB321 3578 steelcutting
  • NB321 3574 steelcutting
  • NB321 3569 steelcutting

These CSOVs (Commissioning Service Operation Vessels) are characterised by the TWIN X-STERN feature, implementing fore and aft main propeller units for excellent dynamic positioning characteristics.

The hulls will be prepared at Crist before being towed to Ulstein Verft in Norway for the final phases, which include outfitting, paint work, electrical installation, equipment integration, commissioning and sea trial. 

Matthias Müller, the Managing Director at Bernhard Schulte Offshore, commented on the milestone events: “It's great to be here at the yard and to witness the birth of our two newbuildings. We look forward to the further construction progress of these remarkable offshore vessels planned for delivery in 2025.”
