ESVAGT, OSK Design, and Hvide Sande Shipyard have joined forces to raise the bar in offshore wind logistics with the development of a next-generation transfer boat, which has been designed to carry more technicians and cargo.
ESVAGT and its partners OSK Design and Hvide Sande Shipyard are taking the next step with the Safe Transfer Boats (STB B15) - a larger boat capable of transferring more technicians and cargo.
In addition to traditional boat landings, it also supports the GUS system, which hoists technicians directly onto the turbine platform.
According to ESVAGT, technicians were ‘very satisfied’ after testing in March 2025.
ESVAGT has entrusted Hvide Sande Shipyard with the construction of the new boat, who also build the predecessor STB12.
The STB15 is designed for use at the Hornsea offshore wind farms to transfer technician, move cargo and spare parts and transport supplies and personnel to shore.
Crucially it will be able to transfer cargo and technicians in rougher seas than before, which will expand the potential of using the boat even more.
STB15 offers increased capacity for both personnel and cargo compared to the STB12.
