Dutch company C-bed has won a contract to deploy its floating hotel Wind Innovation at a 400MW offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The vessel (pictured) will assist the installation and commissioning phase of an unnamed 67-turbine project, which kicks-off in January 2017.
The contract will last between seven and 10 months, C-bed said without giving more details.
Following a recent upgrade, the former seismic survey vessel can now accommodate 105 passengers in 80 cabins.
“We made a significant investment in connection with acquiring and rebuilding Wind Innovation,” C-bed senior sales executive Flemming Hjorth said.
“Therefore, I am pleased to acknowledge a great interest in our vessel from offshore wind operators and to see that this tailor-made vessel makes a real difference for the offshore workers during the installation phase.”
