Start-up Norwind Offshore inks another two CSOVs at Vard

Norway’s Norwind Offshore has added two more offshore wind farm newbuildings to its orderbook as it continues a push into the sector.

The start-up has declared options for the commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs) at Fincantieri’s Vard, bringing the series to four ships.

The deal also sees Norwind add another two options, for a potential fleet of six new ships.

Norwind had already contracted Vard to convert a platform supply vessel (PSV) for wind farm work.
