General – Newbuilding
Bernhard Schulte Offshore announces the delivery of its latest Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) from Ulstein Verft in Norway.
The newbuilding, which was christened Windea Curie on 26 June, is now being deployed for the charterer TenneT, to support its offshore grid connection facilities in the North Sea.
The new offshore vessel features a large, height-adjustable, centrally positioned walk-to-work motion-compensated gangway and elevator tower for personnel and cargo transfers. Furthermore, a 3D compensated crane capable of 5-ton offshore cargo lifts is installed, enhancing operational efficiency and versatility. The optimised on-board logistics include large storage capacities and a stepless approach to the offshore installations.
The newbuilding is named after the famous physicist and chemist Marie Curie, who was honoured twice with the Nobel Prize for her achievements. This continues the tradition of naming BSO’s offshore vessels after outstanding personalities and scientists, as the Windea La Cour, Windea Leibniz and Windea Jules Verne.
