General – Conversion
The Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG) based in Panama City, Florida, has completed and redelivered HOS Rocinante.
This is a US-flagged commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) belonging to Hornbeck Offshore Services (HOS).
Originally built by ESG as an offshore supply vessel, the 300-foot (90-metre) ‘HOS Rocinante’ has undergone an extensive conversion at ESG’s Allanton and Port St Joe Shipyards in Panama City.
The project transformed the vessel into a CSOV engineered to support technician accommodation, safe personnel transfer, and multi-day offshore operations in harsh, open ocean environments – capabilities essential for offshore wind farm construction and maintenance, as well as traditional offshore energy projects.
