Edda Wind has named its newest CSOV “Nordri” representing one of the four characters in Norse Mythology holding up the sky after it was made by the Gods from the skull of Ymir.
Edda Nordri will serve as mother vessel for wind turbine technicians as they perform commissioning and maintenance work on offshore wind turbines.
The CSOV is 88.3 metres in length and can accommodate up to 120 persons in total.
Edda Wind said every effort has been made in the design to maximise the efficiency of operations in the wind farm.
In addition, these vessels will be ready for running emission-free on a hydrogen-based propulsion system.
Within just a few years they will be the first CSOVs operating without carbon emissions, truly enabling a green future, it added.
Edda Nordri was delivered by Gondan Shipbuilders and will be ready for operations in Q4/23.
Kenneth Walland, chief executive of Edda Wind, said: “Edda Nordri is number three of six sister vessels to be delivered by Gondan and I am very happy to present the vessel and the quality today.
“I want to thank everyone contributing to making this day so special.”
Gondan and Edda Wind will launch their next vessel, build no. C492 on 15 September, a vessel that will be completed in Q2/24.
