Our ‘Elevation Series’ of Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) are specialised vessels that will remain in offshore wind farms for up to 30 days, providing maintenance materials and accommodating up to 90 technicians in hotel-style facilities. These 87-meter-long, 20-meter-wide CSOVs will be powered by hydrogen. A total of six vessels will be constructed at the Ha Long Shipyard in Vietnam and operated by Windcat. The first Windcat CSOV will be delivered into operations in 2025. The walk-to-work (W2W) arrangement includes active motion-compensated gangways for enhanced operational efficiency.
Equipped with 4 azimuth thrusters (stern and bow), and a motion-compensated crane, these CSOVs are designed to meet the highest operational and safety standards. The vessels will also provide state-of-the-art living quarters for industrial personnel, ensuring comfort and connectivity with STARLINK-supported network systems.
We have partnered with Anglo-Eastern for the Technical and Crewing management of these vessels.
If you are seeking a role on our CSOVs please send your CV and covering letter to ae.careers@angloeastern.com and ensure you include ‘CSOV’ in your email subject line.
Enquiries regarding the CSOVs that are sent direct to Windcat HR or CTV Crewing will not be replied to.
