In what it calls an “amicable move away” from the original shipbuilder, Spain’s Astilleros Gondan, Liverpool-headquartered Bibby Marine has signed a new shipbuilding contract with another Spanish shipyard to build its innovative electric Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (eCSOV).
The vessel will now be built by Astilleros Armon, Located in Vigo, Armon has been operating since 1963 and has a strong track record for delivering high- quality vessels for its clients, says Bibby.
The eCSOV will feature a battery system complemented by dual-fuel methanol engines, offering alternative green operating solutions.
With the capability to operate solely on battery power for a typical full day of operations, the range of the vessel will allow for passage from field to port and return. The vessel is primed for efficient in-field operations, setting a new standard in the offshore wind industry. Integrating digitalizsation and AI into the vessel’s design are key
