Working closely with the customer results in high SOV efficiency

A shared crew: Good cooperation between ESVAGT and its customer maximises uptime and increases operating efficiency in offshore wind farms.

Since their launch in 2015, ESVAGT’s purpose-built SOV vessels have established themselves as the most efficient vessels in the industry for servicing wind farms.

Much of this success is due to innovative solutions for both concept and design, such as the SOV concept with the walk-to-work gangway and the ESVAGT Safe Transfer Boat (STB) for fast, safe and efficient transfer of technicians and goods.

“An equally important factor in the success of the SOV lies in the excellent cooperation between the crew and the customer's technicians onboard”, says Rune Østergaard, Head of Commercial Wind for ESVAGT:

"It doesn't look as spectacular as a gyro-compensated gangway system or a specially developed STB, but the excellent cooperation between the company's people on board and the crew has been crucial for the great success of the SOV,” says Rune Østergaard.

We do it smarter

Cooperation is the prerequisite for a well-planned day that ensures maximum efficiency and utilises every aspect of the SOV concept.

"In everyday life, ESVAGT crews and the customer’s technicians on board the SOV vessels work as one team; as one united crew. Therein lies much of its value. The combined understanding and great mutual flexibility it brings are the basis for exploiting the potential the SOVs represent," says Rune Østergaard.

You can meet ESVAGT and hear more about the company at WindEnergy Hamburg from September 25th to 28th. ESVAGT will be present in Hall B4, booth 401.
