OWS BV acquires OWPMS
Rotterdam based Offshore Wind Services BV (OWS) of the Netherlands has acquired North Wales based offshore wind crew transfer operator Offshore Wind Power Marine Services Ltd. (OWPMS).
OWPMS has been providing crew transfer services since 2003 and has been instrumental in developing many of the safety policies and innovations that are standard in the industry today.
OWS is the joint venture between Workships and Royal Doeksen that acts as the growth platform for these two companies for providing crew transfer, accommodation and data solutions to the offshore wind sector.
Following the completion of this acquisition, OWS can now offer clients a range of 10 dedicated wind farm services vessels, which includes two 12m South Boats Catamarans already operating in the Netherlands, two 19m DNV classed South Boats Catamarans to be delivered in May and six MCA South Boats Catamarans ranging from 10 to 15m from OWPMS.
There are plans to further extend the OWS fleet with larger crew transfer vessels, as well as accommodation solutions for construction and O&M.
