Gondan holds CSOV naming ceremony for Edda Wind
The first of five CSOVs by Gondan has been named Edda Breeze
Spanish shipbuilder Gondan has held a naming ceremony for a commissioning service operation vessel that it built for Norwegian shipowner Edda Wind.
Edda Breeze will provide support for the energy company Ocean Breeze during operations at the Bard Offshore 1 wind farm in Germany.
With a length of 88.3m and a beam of 19.7m, the CSOV can accommodate 120 people, including 93 technicians and 27 crew members.
It will be installed with zero-emission hydrogen technology, a 3D motion compensated crane and a motion compensated gangway, with a maximum range of 28 metres for personnel transfer and an integrated elevator with capacity of up to 26 people.
The naming ceremony, at Gondan’s facility in Castropol on March 12, was attended by Edda Wind’s board of directors, shareholders and representatives from Ocean Breeze.
“The global situation generated as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has represented a challenge for the shipbuilder, which has managed to face it with great effort and thanks to careful coordination and implementation of all necessary measures, in accordance with current government regulations, successfully achieving the fulfilment of its commitments, despite the challenges,” said Gondan.
This is the first vessel of five CSOVs that Gondan has in its order book, the firm said.
