On February 23, BS Offshore launched the first of two TWIN X-STERN Construction Service Operation Vessels (CSOV).
The vessel has been securely housed in the dock hall since December and has now been transformed into a state-of-the-art offshore wind service vessel.
In the coming weeks, the vessel will undergo final preparations prior to sea trials and delivery.
The Yno 320 was towed from Ulstein Verft’s dock hall to the outer dock on 20 February. While stationed in the outer dock, the Ampelmann tower and gangway were installed.
On 23 February, the vessel was taken into the sea and positioned quayside, where she will remain until sea trials commence later this year.
Featuring the innovative TWIN X-STERN design, the Yno 320 is equipped with advanced technology, such as a 3D-compensated crane and a Walk-to-Work gangway, ensuring safe and efficient personnel and cargo transfer to offshore wind turbine facilities. Its diesel-electric propulsion system and substantial battery energy storage significantly reduce its environmental footprint and prepare it for methanol as fuel.
The vessel is planned for delivery in Q2 2025, enhancing BS Offshore’s operational capabilities.
