WINDEA Curie

A TWIN X-STERN Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) of the ULSTEIN SX222 design. Key features include a motion-compensated walk-to-work gangway and elevator tower, a helideck, and a 3D-compensated crane. The ship is flexible and attractive for work within areas such as O&M (Operation and Maintenance) or construction support, especially in challenging weather and sea conditions.

The vessel features an X-STERN at each end, providing soft movements, increased comfort, and reduced fuel consumption. She has highly efficient engines and a heat recovery system to ensure optimal performance and reduced environmental impact, aligning with Schulte Group's commitment to sustainability. Featuring advanced DP systems and incorporating the TWIN X-STERN technology, the vessel keeps precise positioning and stability in challenging offshore environments. This capability is crucial for maintaining operational excellence and safety.

The vessel measures 89.6 m in length and 19.2 m in beam. It has a large, centrally positioned walk-to-work motion-compensated gangway and elevator tower for personnel and cargo transfers. Furthermore, a 3D-compensated crane capable of lifting 5 tonnes of offshore cargo is installed. The optimised onboard logistics include large storage capacities and a stepless approach to the offshore installations. She offers up to 90 cabins with daylight, providing comfortable living conditions for offshore personnel. In total, there are 111 cabins, accommodating up to 132 people, and all onboard have access to life-saving equipment.

The motion-compensated Ampelmann gangway and 3D motion-compensated Motus crane represent significant upgrades compared to previous BSO vessels. The crane can handle loads of up to 5 tonnes under optimal conditions, enhancing operational efficiency and versatility.
