O.S. Energy unveils first OSSV option declared after MPC platform fundraising

O.S. Energy has unveiled the construction of two additional OSSVs at the Danish Esbjerg Shipyard A/S. Following MPC Capital AG completion of fundraising for its offshore service vessel platform, with Eurazeo serving as the lead investor, this development has paved the way for declaring the option with Esbjerg Shipyard A/S to construct two additional OSSVs.

“We are pleased to announce that, we have declared the first option,” O.S. Energy said, adding that the three vessels are “ideally suited” for missions in the fields of subsea inspections, geophysical and geotechnical surveys, as well as environmental baseline studies and impact assessments.

To remind, Hamburg-based investment and asset manager MPC Capital completed recently a €70m fundraising for its offshore service vessel platform with Eurazeo as the lead investor.

MPC Capital revealed that European investment group Eurazeo and a large European family office are investing in MPC Capital’s recently launched platform for offshore service vessels.

The platform was initiated by a joint venture of MPC Capital and O.S. Energy (‘MPC OSE Offshore’) to develop, build and manage service vessels, which are specifically designed to operate in offshore wind farms.
