Norwind Offshore’s first vessel delivered

The vessel was delivered by Vard, Brattvåg.

“This is a significant day for us,” said CEO of Norwind Offshore, Svein Leon Aure. “Since its inception in 2021, Norwind Offshore has been very well received by offshore wind operators. This gives us the foundation to continue our efforts into the future.”

The Norwind Breeze is the first vessel of the newbuild program, which will total five vessels. The vessel is of VARD 4 01 design, developed by Vard Design in Ålesund in close cooperation with Norwind Offshore. These vessels are specifically designed for global service and maintenance operations for offshore wind farms.

A contract has already been secured for the first vessel, and it will commence operations immediately after delivery. The renewables company Ørsted has contracted the vessel for the development of the world’s largest offshore wind farm – Hornsea 2 – in the North Sea.

A further two vessels are expected to be delivered by 2025.

Norwind Offshore was established by Farstad, Volstad and Kleven.
