More than the presentation of the innovative concept of a large multifunction vessel, equipped with the latest technologies guaranteeing safety and reducing maintenance costs, the Louis Dreyfus Armateurs group made a focus on its entire industrial strategy for the development of Marine Renewable Energies in France and Europe, particularly in relation with the future and first French wind farm in Saint-Nazaire.
With its wind farm service vessels the Wind Of Change and her sistership the Wind Of Hope, Louis Dreyfus Armateurs says it has succeeded in building and operating a larger and more multifunctional vessel: maintenance, transfer, living space for technicians, etc. with a motion-compensated gangway to improve the safety of operations and reduce the cost of field maintenance.
