Wind Farm Support Vessel

Efficient, safe maintenance operations within wind farms

As a highly experienced engineering and service provider for the offshore maritime industry, we are the right partner for wind farm service operation vessels. Our dynamic positioning systems are backed by decades of offshore data, while our integrated energy management systems ensure fuel efficient, low emissions operation. We offer hybrid solutions, while our experience in deck operations and machinery ensure safe, effective working environments.  

Key figures

  

Some of our competitive advantages:  

  • K-Pos dynamic positioning systems with dedicated functionalities for offshore wind servicing operations
  • An array of thruster packages and options for economical but effective station keeping
  • Full lifecycle support and predictive maintenance services
  • Experienced refit services to modernise older SOVs 

The KONGSBERG design integrates the critical systems to secure a stable and comfortable base for the technicians that are working on the Windfarm.  The KONGSBERG Boat Transfer System (BTS) secures the handling of the Daughter Craft that transfer the technicians to and from the installations, while the advanced DP set up secures the vessels position close to the installation to enable a secure transfer of personnel via the W2W installation. 

The SAVeENERGY Battery installation and the  SAVeSAFE electric system in combination with the offshore charging system enables the vessel to run in almost zero emission mode for most of its operation. During Night time, the vessel will hook up to a charging buoy and charge the batteries via the the power created by the nearby windfarm. The need of fossil energy production is reduced to a minimum for back up functions.

Integration of our state of the art Propulsion units, Engines, Deck Machinery and Control and Safety Systems will reduce a number of cost elements for the OSV:

  • Shipyard will save engineering hours, interface meetings, cabling and installation work, and over all reduce the risk in the project
  • Ship designers will be able to tailor their solutions for specific designs and customer requirements together with KONGSBERG. An integrated solution will free up space and reduce weight. This is valid for winches, electrical systems and control systems at bridge
  • Owner and operators will reduce OPEX regards to efficient installation operations. A proven life cycle management system for the delivered solution will in the long run save cost and increase visibility for the uptime of your asset.
  • Shipyard, designers, owners and operators will benefit from the unique knowledge and experience Kongsberg possess after more than 30 years within demanding Offshore operations, enabled by Kongsberg contribution throughout the entire process from concept to operation.

The world´s most advanced technology systems are now available for the Wind Farm Support Industry.
