The vessels will now enter Anglo-Eastern’s technical and crew management as soon as they are delivered to Windcat, adding to the existing agreement for the management company to oversee their construction.

William Van Der Wel, Windcat’s managing director, said: “Partnering with Anglo-Eastern represents a step forward in our mission to set the standard in the offshore industry. 

“With Anglo-Eastern’s extensive global reach and their rich experience in ship management, we can further broaden our horizons and offer the same unparalleled service and innovation that our customers know to this new vessel type, worldwide.” 

The hydrogen dual-fuel CSOVs have been developed in collaboration with Damen Shipyards and CMB.TECH and are being constructed at Ha Long Shipyard in Vietnam, with deliveries expected from 2025. 

The 87m long vessels are the first of their kind to be built with hydrogen-propulsion technology and will be capable of sustaining a 90-strong crew of offshore wind technicians at sea for up to 30 days.
