Vard has secured a new contract with Taiwanese-based Dong Fang Offshore (DFO) for the design and construction of one Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV), a sister vessel to the two CSOVs ordered in May 2024.
After sealing the contract for two CSOVs in May 2024, Taiwanese DFO is adding a third vessel of the same design, the VARD 4 39.The design is the result of collaboration between DFO and Vard.
The design gives a highly versatile all-round platform for sustainable wind farm support operations both as a service vessel for the wind farms and for the building and installation phase.
Upon delivery, the CSOV will start a minimum 15-year service contract for an undisclosed wind farm customer in Taiwan.
The CSOV has been developed with large design flexibility to accommodate future operational demands.
The design has focus on low environmental footprint with efficient machinery and propulsion set-up for high station keeping capabilities, improved workability, and operational reliability, and a hull shape that supports the fuel efficient CSOV operation.
The 102.7-meter-long vessel, with a beam of 19.5 meters, is further prepared with a large external deck for future integration of a modular power and fiber optic cable lay and repair spread.
