The JSD6000, a heavy lift pipelay vessel designed by Ulstein and built at the ZPMC shipyard in China, has successfully completed her sea trial and has now returned to the ZPMC Changxing Base. 

Ulstein Group CEO, Cathrine Kristiseter Marti, has decided to take on a new opportunity outside the Group and will resign from her position. Ulstein Group's former CEO, Gunvor Ulstein, will be constituted CEO from 29 November 2023.

Fulfilling the increasing needs of the offshore wind transportation sector

Established in 2007 and located in Ningbo's Nordic Industry Park, Ulstein Marine Equipment is a key part of Ulstein Group. We specialise in producing high-quality switchboards, bridge and automation systems, cabinets, and the ULSTEIN COM communication system. Our focus is on reliability and setting new standards in maritime technology. 

Since July 2023, Shearwater GeoServices' newly converted dual ROV seismic vessel, the 'SW Tasman' has been in operational service, successfully working in a variety of weather conditions. Node tasks, previously conducted by two vessels, have, with the SW Tasman, been completed by one ship only. More space, easier access, and the work area solutions add to the crew's praise of the converted vessel.

Ulstein Design & Solutions AS has been contracted for the conceptual design of a cable laying and repair vessel.  

The steel-cutting ceremony for the first of two TWIN X-STERN CSOV vessels for Bernhard Schulte Offshore was a cause for celebration on 31 October 2023. 

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.

Olympic frequently relies on Ulstein for a wide range of big and small design projects, as well as shipyard assignments such as dockings and upgrades. The key factors influencing this choice include the convenience of having a single point of contact, rapid responses, and the wealth of expertise available at Ulstein's disposal.

The cruise industry was set to a halt when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. Our fresh market study shows that the cruise industry is projected to experience substantial growth ahead.

In mid-October 2023, the tow of Bluewild's new trawler arrived at the Westcon Ølen shipyard, Norway, for the final construction phase. The fishing vessel has been developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS in collaboration with the shipowner and will establish a new, green standard within trawl fishing.

The urgent push for more renewable energy production to achieve climate goals translates into many new offshore wind projects. Simultaneously, ambitious climate goals also call for vessels to be developed with solutions for zero-emission operations.
