Eidesvik Offshore expands fleet with new CSV
Eidesvik Offshore has announced the vessel build of a new Construction Support Vessel (CSV) which aims to enhance operational efficiency and address the increasing demand for vessels in the offshore renewables and subsea markets.
The state-of-the-art CSV will be constructed at the Sefine Shipyard in Turkey through a strategic partnership between Eidesvik, Agalas and Reach Subsea.
“Eidesvik is delivering on our growth strategy, and we are pleased to announce yet another expansion to our fleet,” said Helga Cotgrove, CEO of Eidesvik Offshore.
“This vessel is designed to meet the demands of both the oil & gas sector and the offshore renewables industry, allowing us to capitalize on market opportunities in both these sectors.”
Cutting-edge
Equipped with cutting-edge green technology, the vessel will feature a battery hybrid system and dual-fuel gensets capable of running on methanol or marine gas oil (MGO).
It will also include a 150-metric tonne heave-compensated crane, a spacious 900-square-metre deck area and an advanced remotely operated vehicle (ROV) launch and recovery system.
The CSV is set for delivery in spring 2027 at which time the vessel will enter a five-year time charter with Reach Subsea upon delivery, with options for two one-year extensions.
Eidesvik will provide full management of the vessel, including crewing. Ownership will be split between Eidesvik and Agalas (two-thirds) and Reach Subsea (one-third), continuing their strong existing collaboration.
Eidesvik said it’s commited to innovation and sustainability in the offshore renewables sector.
