VARD has secured a contract with an undisclosed Taiwanese customer to design and build two commissioning service operation vessels (CSOV) using their new VARD 4 39 design. These vessels are intended to support sustainable windfarm operations, both during the service phase and the building and installation phase. The design features a large external deck, hull shape for fuel efficiency, and flexibility to accommodate future operational demands.
The focus of the design is on environmental considerations, with an efficient machinery and propulsion set-up for high station-keeping capabilities. The vessels are equipped with an electrical equipment package, including a powerful battery package, crane, and gangway system for enhanced reliability. With an aggregated hotel capacity of 120 persons, the vessels offer comfortable accommodations and operational centers meeting high market standards.
Furthermore, the vessels are prepared for future fuels and feature a forward-leaning strategy in electrification.
