Official launch of Windcat Rotterdam

Tuesday, August 26 2025

General – Newbuilding

Windcat officially presents Windcat Rotterdam, the first of six vessels in its new CSOV Elevation Series.

The vessel was constructed at Ha Long Shipyard in Vietnam and developed in collaboration with Damen Shipyards Group, Windcat, and CMB.TECH.

The vessel can accommodate up to 120 people and sets new standards in comfort, performance, and decarbonisation. This vessel delivery marks a major milestone in the expansion of Windcat’s offshore service capabilities.

Windcat Rotterdam is a CSOV (Commissioning Service Operation Vessel), a vessel that supports construction, commissioning, and maintenance activities at offshore energy projects. It serves as a floating base for personnel and equipment, enabling safe and efficient access to offshore assets.

Designed for offshore deployment of up to 30 days, the vessel offers high operability and safety. The 3D motion-compensated gangway sets new industry standards with a high vertical range, and the world’s first 10-ton 3D motion-compensated crane enables heavier platform lifts in rough sea conditions safely and easily, reducing standby time due to weather changes.
