Astilleros Gondan in Spain has launched Edda Wind’s commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) for the Dogger Bank offshore windfarm
The CSOV is due to start work on Dogger Bank in 2023. The contract awarded to Edda Wind for the vessel is for two years firm plus one optional year.
Edda Wind currently has a number of service operation vessels under construction at Astilleros Gondan and at Colombo Dockyard in Sri Lanka. The vessels are all due to be delivered by 2024. They will all be prepared for emissions-free operation with a hydrogen fuel cell-based propulsion system, using hydrogen derived from a liquid organic hydrogen carrier.
As highlighted by OWJ, a naming ceremony took place 12 March 2022 for Edda Breeze, another CSOV for Edda Wind. Also built at Astilleros Gondan, Edda Breeze is the subject of a contract with Ocean Breeze. This contract has a firm period of 11 years.
