Wind Energy – CTV Services
Patriot Offshore Maritime Services reports that it has been awarded a U.S. industry-defining, ten-year crew transfer vessel (CTV) services contract with Equinor’s Empire Offshore Wind LLC.
The vessel will service Equinor’s New York offshore wind farm during the construction and O&M phases of the project. The Jones Act qualified CTV will be constructed in a U.S. shipyard and will commence operations in 2026.
This marks the second newbuild CTV contract for Patriot Offshore Maritime Services, which is led by Michael Landry, a 2007 Massachusetts Maritime Academy graduate with an offshore industry background that includes a decade at Transocean.
In 2024, Patriot Offshore Maritime Services took delivery and began operations of its first CTV, the Patriot Leader. The purpose-built vessel will be providing transportation services to several offshore wind farms along the U.S. East Coast over the coming years.
