Bibby Marine laid the keel for its 6,700GT e-CSOV at the Armon Shipyard in Vigo, Spain. The first of its kind hybrid-powered vessel will operate on zero-emissions.
Each CSOV will measure approximately 87 meters in length and 19.5 meters in beam. They will be equipped with state-of-the-art DP2 positioning and seakeeping systems.
The vessel is designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS for ‘walk-to-work’ (W2W) operations, where personnel walks via a motion-compensated gangway from the ship to a wind turbine.
Kongsberg Maritime has delivered its 1,000th ship design - the IWS Seawalker - a state-of-the art windfarm service operation vessel (CSOV), and one of six ‘Skywalker Class’ UT5519 DE for IWS Fleet.
