General – CSOV
SMST has been selected by Marco Polo Marine to deliver a comprehensive mission equipment package for the company’s first of its kind Commissioning Service Operation Vessel Plus (CSOV Plus).

The scope comprises an Access & Cargo Tower fitted with a motion-compensated gangway (Telescopic Access Bridge L2) and a 100t knuckle boom crane, enabling safe and efficient people and cargo transfer to platforms worldwide through the tower’s adjustable landing heights, alongside high-capacity lifting in demanding offshore conditions.
Designed for dual sector operations across offshore wind and oil & gas, both the CSOV Plus, designed by Salt Ship Design, and SMST’s equipment package emphasize flexibility and long-term operational value.
SMST’s modular design allows the crane’s knuckle configuration to be exchanged, enabling future upgrades or configuration changes without replacing the full crane. Whether supporting the complete lifecycle of offshore wind projects or maintenance and construction activities in oil and gas, the flexible set-up can be optimized for the specific operational profile.
