Another Gondán build contract for Edda Wind

It will be the fifth vessel of the series currently under construction and the seventh project commissioned to the shipyard by the Norwegian shipowner for the renewable energy sector.

The vessel, designed by the Norwegian firm Salt Ship Design, will be part of Edda Wind’s fleet, which claims to be the world’s most environmentally friendly and efficient fleet of vessels of their type – and will provide services in offshore wind farms.

Since 2015, Gondán can boast seven projects for the offshore renewable energy sector, a growing industry in which the shipyard is consolidating itself as a leading shipbuilder and integrator of the most complex and efficient technological solutions for the sector.

Edda Wind is also one of the most innovative and reputed companies in its sector worldwide, and leads the way in the adoption of clean energy and the implementation of cutting-edge technology for its operations.

With this new contract Gondán consolidates its close relationship with the Norwegian group – immersed in a determined fleet expansion plan for which it counts on Gondán as its reliable supplier, with 5 vessels currently under construction and a total of 18 vessels ordered in the last 20 years.

Gondán has more than 90 years of experience in the sector. Located in the Asturian Castropol district, north of Spain, the company has facilities in Figueras, Barres and Castropol. Edda Wind is a company founded by the Norwegian groups Østensjø and Wilhelmsen.
