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. 

Aptly nicknamed ‘A 4-wheel-drive for the seas’, the ULSTEIN TWIN X-STERN is celebrated for its exceptional manoeuvrability. To date, this innovative feature has been incorporated into ten newbuilds, all designed for the walk-to-work market and measuring up to 90m in length. The next likely segments to adopt the TWIN X-STERN are subsea and cable-laying.

10 June 2024: Yard number 318 from Ulstein Verft completed her sea trial this weekend. The state-of-the-art CSOV vessel includes sophisticated energy systems and the ULSTEIN TWIN X-STERN solution in a prototype combo. 

The Construction Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) "Olympic Boreas", set for delivery from Ulstein Verft in 2024, has been nominated for the 'Ship of The Year' award by the jury of the maritime magazine Skipsrevyen. 

Starting its journey from the drawing board to reality: On Thursday, 16 May 2024, the steel cutting ceremony was held at the Crist hull yard for Ulstein Verft's yard number 322. The CSOV vessel is based on a TWIN X-STERN platform and has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. 

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. 

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.

Ulstein Verft will construct two CSOVs based on the ULSTEIN SX222 design. The contracts have been entered into on behalf of institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management and include two additional options.

Acta Marine’s TWIN X-STERN CSOVs reached a new milestone on 26 September 2023, when the keels of the last two vessels in the series were laid at the Tersan Shipyard.

Bernhard Schulte Offshore returns to Ulstein Verft for the design and construction of two Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) of the ULSTEIN SX222 design. The contract includes options for four additional vessels.

Ulstein Design & Solutions AS has signed a contract with Tersan Shipyard for two methanol-fuelled ULSTEIN SX216 Construction Service Operating Vessel (CSOV) designs. The vessels will be constructed for the Netherlands-based Acta Marine and will be number 3 and 4 with the novel TWIN X-STERN solution in the Acta fleet.

On 29 March 2023, the steel-cutting ceremony for the second next-generation Methanol MDO/HVO-powered DP2 Construction Service Operating Vessel for Acta Marine was completed at Tersan. The vessel is a TWIN X-STERN Construction Service Operation Vessel design from Ulstein.

On 30th December 2022, the steel cutting started for yard number 319, the second of two CSOVs of Ulstein’s ship design. Both are planned for delivery in 2024.

On 20 October 2022, Ulstein was appointed 'The Industrial Design Company of the Year Award.' The jury stated Ulstein has ‘design as a part of its DNA. The world is facing enormous challenges, and the company is working to solve these challenges by thinking differently, and working across disciplines and industries.'

Ulstein Power & Control AS has been chosen to integrate advanced power and control systems into two ULSTEIN SX222 Construction Service Operation Vessels for Olympic.
