Thank you for signing up

PaxOcean Group, a member of Kuok Maritime Group, and Ulstein Design & Solutions AS have signed a contract for the design of an ULSTEIN SX222 service operation vessel (SOV) for NYK Line (Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha). PaxOcean will construct the vessel at its Graha yard in Batam, Indonesia.

Dajin Heavy Industry has selected the ULSTEIN HX122 design, featuring the U-STERN® hull solution, for the development of its offshore installation vessel. The vessel has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. in the Netherlands. The vessel is optimised for installing monopiles, jacket foundations, and offshore substations, supporting the growing demand for larger and more complex offshore wind projects.

Jan De Nul has exercised the option for a second trenching vessel based on the customised vessel design developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. The decision confirms the confidence in the design platform and strengthens the collaboration between the two companies.

Fuel costs are rising, emission requirements are tightening, and vessel owners are searching for long-term energy solutions.  A concept study by Ulstein indicates that a nuclear hybrid solution could reduce conventional fuel consumption by more than 50%, and in some operational modes eliminate it entirely.

In expedition cruising, time at the destination is the product being sold. A vessel that arrives hours earlier at its destination creates more time for guest experiences. That time can be converted into additional landings, extra Zodiac excursions, more wildlife encounters and, ultimately, a richer expedition experience.

Effective from 1 September 2026, Knut L. Barstad assumes the position of Managing Director of Ulstein Verft. Barstad currently serves as Deputy Managing Director at the yard and has worked at Ulstein since 2018.

The cable-lay vessel will undergo a comprehensive yard stay, with several disciplines contributing to the project.

Ulstein Municipality has been named Maritime Municipality of the Year 2026. During the Trebaatfestival in Ulsteinvik on 15 August, the municipality and local maritime stakeholders celebrated the award, which was presented earlier at Arendalsuka by Norway’s Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Marianne Sivertsen Næss

On 23 June 2026, Hanwha Philly Shipyard delivered the subsea rock installation vessel (SRIV) Acadia to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock. The vessel is the first of its kind under the U.S. flag and is designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions B.V. in the Netherlands.
