UK owner North Star has bagged a bonus wind farm contract after one of its new service operations vessels (SOVs) was delivered early.

The 79-loa Grampian Derwent has been handed over three months ahead of schedule by Vard’s Vung Tao yard in Vietnam to help with construction and commissioning at the Dogger Bank site in the North Sea.

SSE Renewables has awarded the ship a new scope of work as a result.
