Our vessels have been purpose built to transfer offshore personnel between shore, offshore wind turbines, construction vessels and other offshore assets. The vessels offer passengers space and comfort during transit and a safe and stable platform for safe transfers giving high accessibility to offshore assets.

The design of a Windcat is constantly evolving with the experience gained over the last 20 years and from completing more than 2 million safe transfers. The input from technicians and charterers has led to the most practical vessel available, giving great accommodation space for the passengers together with all the required facilities to make long transits comfortable. There is sufficient space for the technicians to be able to get in and out of their working and safety gear. Ample storage space is available for stowing away PPE, tools and equipment.
Our vessel design is a key factor in our success. We build efficient and tailor-made vessels to answer clients’ needs. Our teams of dedicated professionals operate and support these vessels. We maintain top-level standards, offering additional in-house training for our crew to ensure secure client transfers. Our onshore personnel and engineering teams provide exceptional service, supported by strategically located warehouses for uninterrupted vessel operations.

The combination of the vessels design and specialized bow fender give the vessel a highly effective and safe access system that has constantly out performed other vessels. The vessels are also designed to carry cargo to and from offshore assets, with most of the fleet being certified for the carriage of dangerous goods. The items carried can range from the technicians tools to larger items such as generators. We can also accommodate skyclimber platforms for aerial work that we carry on specially designed cradles.
CSOV services
As windfarms go further offshore, crews need a home away from home. Therefore we are adding a new vessel type to our fleet to offer safety and comfort for up to 120 people. The “Elevation Series” CSOVs have been designed by Damen Shipyards in cooperation with Windcat and CMB.TECH. The result is a revolutionary new design with increased capabilities and flexibility compared to existing vessels.
Our SOV services are built on the success and competencies of Windcat’s 20 years of experience and it directly benefits from expertise within the wider CMB.TECH group, not least in the management of larger vessels. The first Windcat CSOV, from a series of 6 vessels, will be delivered into operations in 2025.

Whilst a newly established company, the business has already commenced the recruitment of several CSOV experts and will continue to do so over the short and medium term. Windcat Offshore will deliver the first CSOV in the Elevation Series into operations in 2025.
