Ship history
The sister vessels, named initially 'Neptune Despina' and 'Neptune Larissa', are IMR vessels of the ULSTEIN SX130 design. The vessels were constructed for shipowner Neptune Offshore at the Zhejiang yard, China and were named in a joint ceremony on 26 October 2011. The Neptune Despina, Yno ZJ2011, was delivered on 27 October 2011. At the time of delivery, Reef Subsea announced two five-year charter agreements for the two vessels. The vessels, therefore, changed names to 'Reef Larissa' and 'Reef Despina'. The name was later simplified to just Despina.
Ulstein supplied design, detailed documentation and main equipment for these vessels, including main switchboards, bridge and control room consoles, ULSTEIN IAS® (integrated alarm and surveillance system), ULSTEIN COM® (communication and information), navigation equipment and ULSTEIN PMS (power management system).
The X-BOW®, combined with a diesel-electric propulsion system, ensures excellent performance with regard to fuel consumption, sea-keeping and speed.
2016: Golden Energy Offshore took over the management of the two vessels.
2021: On a 20% biofuel mixture, Despina helped reduce 400 tonnes of CO₂ emissions during a campaign at Ijmuiden Ver - the largest Offshore Wind Zone in the Netherlands
2022: Despina was sold to CBO in Brazil, and the vessel was renamed 'CBO Wave'. CBO signed a contract with Petrobras for operations between 2022 and 2025.
