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.
Against the backdrop of the Shanghai Electric wind farm, the Ulstein-designed vessel underwent thorough scrutiny.
On 4 April 2024, the keel laying ceremony took place for the DP3 cable laying vessel (CLV) Nexans Electra. This vessel will transport and lay various types of subsea cables, including cable bundles, as well as handle recovery and repair operations for Nexans Marine Operations AS in Norway.
On Saturday, 6 April, the CSOV Olympic Boreas was launched from the dock hall at Ulstein Verft, Norway. The vessel is based on the novel TWIN X-STERN solution, a '4-wheel-drive' solution for the seas.
Aurora Expeditions, the Australian-owned expedition travel company, will soon welcome its third purpose-built small expedition ship, Douglas Mawson, to its family of pioneering vessels. The cruise vessel, based on the ULSTEIN CX103 design, is due to begin sailing in December 2025.
The offshore energy market is booming, and so is the demand for subsea vessels that can operate in challenging environments and perform complex tasks. Whether installing, maintaining, or decommissioning offshore wind farms or oil and gas platforms, subsea vessels need to be flexible, efficient, and reliable.
Ulstein Verft will convert the fish feed carrier Eidsvaag Pioner with a modern feed discharge system. This is a large and comprehensive project. A large part of the scope will mainly affect the steel and outfitting department but during its stay the project will at some point engage all the departments in Ulstein Verft.
The offshore vessel market is experiencing a surge of optimism thanks to high growth rates and the highest-ever backlog of major subsea EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractors.
From the Caribbean to the Antarctic, from the lab to the ship, the service engineers at Ulstein Power & Control face new challenges and opportunities every day. Their main tasks are to offer the best service and support for the control and power systems on board ships.
On Friday, 23 February, the feed carrier Eidsvaag Pioner arrived at Ulstein Verft. The vessel, belonging to Norway-based Eidsvaag AS, will undergo a significant overhaul, which will continue for approx. 4-5 months.
On 6 February 2024, the inclining test of the ULSTEIN SX197 vessel for Shanghai Electric was conducted.
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.
In November 2023, former CEO Gunvor Ulstein returned to Ulstein Group as acting CEO. In an Ulstein Group Board meeting on 25 January 2024, she was appointed CEO of Ulstein Group.
