The SOV functions as a mother ship for wind turbine technicians performing maintenance and service work at offshore wind farms, while the CSOV is designed to support commissioning works during the construction of offshore wind farms, as well as their maintenance operations.
Marco Polo Marine is co-developing two new specialised offshore wind service, operation and maintenance vessels with green tech ship design company Seatech Solutions International to service the global offshore wind farm market.
The vessels are the MP S80-20 Service Operation Vessel (SOV) and the S83-21 Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV). When completed, these vessels will be the first SOV and CSOV designed in Asia, the company said in a statement.
