Prior to the sea trial various tests will be carried out, including start-up of the propulsion system, testing of the tower and crane.The X-BOW® and X-STERN® offshore wind vessel will be working as a Service Operation Vessel for GE Renewable Energy on the Merkur Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of Germany.
Follow the progress of this hybrid vessel from design to delivery.
The expected global gap in vessel capacity for foundation installation and transportation for ever-growing offshore wind components can slow down the growth speed of offshore wind farm developments across the globe.
We accept the design challenge.
In the vast expanse of offshore wind energy, cable-laying vessels are essential—the silent architects of our renewable future. As wind farms grow larger and more ambitious, the demand for efficient cable installations has intensified. Enter the ULSTEIN SX225, a vessel designed to tackle the challenges head-on.
Offshore wind energy generation is one means to reach international climate goals. Ulstein has developed offshore wind designs since 2006. The designs draw on our broad experience in oil and gas, and range from new turbine installation concepts to foundation installation vessels and service operation vessels.
