Olympic Boreas CSOV – delivered and ready for offshore energy operations

The state-of-the-art 'Olympic Boreas' CSOV has been delivered to Olympic by Ulstein Verft on 25.07.2024. The vessel is the first of two sister vessels, based on the ULSTEIN SX222 design by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. 

Olympic Boreas has been designed with the TWIN X-STERN solution and comes with a unique hybrid power integration. Further, she has a large gangway system installed, high-capacity, delicately furnished accommodation, including offices, lounges, day rooms, game rooms, and an exercise room to make the vessel a home away from home. The vessel is a nominee for the Ship of the Year Award.

We are proud to welcome Olympic Boreas, an innovative and pioneering vessel. This ship is a product of the excellent cooperation between Ulstein and Olympic and the strength of the maritime cluster in our region. It will play an essential role in our future operations within offshore energy. We look forward to using this high-quality vessel to promote sustainable, efficient, and safe operations in the industry.

Stig Remøy
CEO of Olympic Group

"In partnership with Olympic, we have developed and built an exceptional ship", says CEO Gunvor Ulstein, Ulstein Group.

"We have collaborated with Olympic on numerous past projects and are gratified that they once again selected Ulstein for this innovative newbuild. I am proud to announce the delivery of this high-quality, next-generation offshore energy vessel that is set to benefit the shipowner for many years ahead."

The Olympic Boreas is the first sailing vessel featuring the TWIN X-STERN

TWIN X-STERN

Ulstein's hull solutions have been developed for harsh sea states, with excellent seakeeping characteristics, to secure safe and comfortable journeys for the crew and passengers. The TWIN X-STERN solution includes four main thrusters: two aft and two in the foreship. With this innovative setup, the vessel is exceptionally swift and can perform walk-to-work operations in an efficient manner. This has a significant impact on fuel consumption in dynamic positioning operations.

Hybrid power solution

Ulstein Power & Control’s hybrid power solution incorporates a substantial battery system and diesel generators that can operate at variable speeds as well as fixed speeds. This design ensures optimal fuel utilisation. The vessel is prepared for methanol fuel, paving the way for low-emission operations. There is also reserved space for extra battery capacity, allowing full-electric operations once the necessary infrastructure becomes available. The focus is on energy efficiency, resulting in maximized energy-efficient operations, manoeuvrability, and functionality.

 

Naming ceremony

The Olympic Boreas will be named in a ceremony on 27 July, and the joint team at Olympic and Ulstein wish her fair winds and following seas!

Olympic and Ulstein, together with other partners, are cooperating in a project to develop a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of new vessels, focusing on the Olympic Boreas and her sister vessel. The implementation of life cycle analysis in shipbuilding and in the operation of the vessel is crucial for assessing the environmental impact of maritime technologies and identifying alternative low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels that can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships in a holistic manner.
