The Danish shipowning company CBED has acquired two SOVs from Vroon.
Wind Evolution and Wind Creation are expected to be delivered at the end of first quarter 2024 and join the CBED fleet which since 2008 has worked on 31 individual offshore wind projects in Northern Europe.
Following delivery from Vroon, both Wind Evolution (formerly Vos Start) and Wind Creation (formerly Vos Stone) will be dry-docked for refurbishing, name change and painting according to the CBED fleet design.
They will be ready to take on new walk-to-work, IRM and subsea projects starting second quarter 2024.
The parties have chosen not to disclose the sales amount.
Being sister vessels, both Wind Evolution and Wind Creation have room to accommodate 60 clients plus crew living onboard.
The customised walk-to-work vessels both have motion compensated gangways and Kongsberg DP2 systems, allowing for safe transfers to and from offshore installations.
Both vessels are also equipped with 50-tonne AHC and five-tonne 3D motion-compensated cranes.
Both vessels include onboard offices and meeting rooms, as well as offering leisure activities such as a fitness room, cinema, TV lounge and gaming facilities.
