ESVAGT is building a new Service Operation Vessel (SOV) for MHI Vestas Offshore Wind to service the offshore wind farm off the Belgian coast.
The newly developed ESVAGT STB 12 (Safe Transfer Boat) is more than a traditional daughter craft.
ESVAGT’s workshop is being optimised to improve operations, logistics, the environment and working environment – and to prime it for continued growth.
The SOVs, the ‘Esvagt Froude’ and the ‘Esvagt Faraday’ are well underway with offshore wind farm duties.
The service operation vessels for offshore wind farms get newly developed Safe Transfer Boats
Focus on the offshore wind energy market means developing new transfer boats aimed specifically at transfer to offshore wind turbines.
ESVAGT’s two new service operation vessels will function as top modern workshops, stores, offices and accommodation for technicians in the offshore wind farms. Transfers by boat or stabilized gangway.
ESVAGT is to deliver two newbuildings to service the offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. ”An important business unit to strengthen”, says Søren Nørgaard Thomsen, CEO.
Rush of business – especially in the offshore wind sector – gave an increased number of transfers in 2011 at ESVAGT: 11,000 in all.
