VOS Gorgeous completes first Sulmara project
The multi-role offshore-support vessel VOS Gorgeous recently completed her very first survey campaign for international subsea specialist Sulmara, one of our valued clients.
The vessel was used to conduct site-characterisation work at a Scottish floating offshore windfarm, operating in water depths of up to 100 m.
Chris Young, Offshore Manager at Sulmara, says:
“We have completed a difficult project for a high-value client and the Vroon personnel on board were instrumental in making sure that the vessel side of things ran smoothly. Considering that this was the first time many of the personnel on board had performed survey operations, their control of the vessel was excellent, and they were able to adapt quickly to the survey requirements.”
VOS Gorgeous is currently back in her home port of Aberdeen, mobilising for her next survey contract with Sulmara.
The Stromar floating offshore windfarm is being developed approximately 50 km off Caithness in northern Scotland. When complete, it will be one of the world’s largest floating offshore windfarms, generating renewable electricity for homes in Scotland. Stromar is a joint venture of Ørsted, BlueFloat Energy and Renantis.
Built in 2015, VOS Gorgeous is a multi-purpose DP2 offshore vessel. She is the third in a series of four 60-metre vessels, purpose-built for Vroon and featuring a revolutionary, wave-piercing bow shape, DP2 and 300m2 cargo deck.
