Tersan Shipyard has secured new contracts with Netherlands-based Acta Marine to build two additional DP2 Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) powered by Methanol and MDO/HVO. This brings Tersan’s orderbook for Acta Marine to four CSOVs, including the first two currently under construction.
The newly commissioned CSOVs are designed to support the daily operations and maintenance of two of RWE’s most substantial offshore wind projects under Acta’s recent agreement with RWE. These include the operational 857 MW Triton Knoll and the 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm, currently under construction in the UK.
Like their sister ships, the new vessels will measure 89 meters in length and 19 meters in width. Despite having the same space for accommodation, the ships’ unique single cabin layout allows them to house up to 89 people. They will feature Motion Compensated Gangway systems supplied by SMST, a 3D-motion compensated crane with a 6-ton lifting capacity, and indoor and outdoor cargo areas of 500 m2 each.
Designed in collaboration with Acta Marine and Ulstein Design & Solutions AS, the ships are to feature TWIN-X stern, an integrated walk-to-work gangway system, and 3D crane. They will also offer hotel-style accommodation areas and advanced technologies that cater to the offshore wind construction market.
Sakir Erdogan, Business Development and Marketing Director at Tersan Shipyard, expressed pride in the project. “We’re adding two significant vessels to our order book, which will be key players in the renewable market,” Erdogan said. Acta Marine’s commitment to sustainability aligns well with the shipyard’s goals for efficient production with less energy consumption and a strategy to increase renewables, he added.
The Acta Marine vessels are designed to provide high agility, operability, and workability during transfers of people and cargo to offshore wind farms. Their dual fuel methanol propulsion system is expected to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. The first two vessels are set for delivery in Q3 2024, with the last two planned for Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.
