France's Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) and UK owner Tidal Transit have won a contract to build two crew transfer vessels (CTVs) for offshore wind farm work.

The ships will work for GE Renewable Energy Offshore Wind off Saint-Nazaire in France.

The CTVs will be designed by naval architect Mauric and built by French shipyard Ocea Shipbuilding.

LDA and Tidal have formed a joint venture, LD Tide, to operate the vessels.
