Sea1 Offshore announced that it has ordered two new next generation Offshore Energy Support Vessels from the Chinese shipyard Cosco Shipping.
The vessels will be 120 meters long, with a cargo deck of 1,400 square meters. Each ship will feature a 250-tonne deck crane and provide accommodations for up to 120 personnel. Both vessels will be equipped with an ROV hangar and a moonpool.
Based on the advanced ST-245 design, the vessels will be equipped with the technology to reduce emissions and maximize operational efficiency.
Moreover, the vessels are methanol-ready, and the generators can operate on 100% biofuel, offering a flexibility that customers will appreciate.
Furthermore, the ships are designed and equipped for wide range of operations, which also include the renewable energy market. According to the company statement, Sea1 Offshore expects increased demand for vessels that can serve offshore wind farms.
