Piriou has delivered two wind farm support vessels (WFSVs), the Challenger and Excalibur, to North Sea Logistics.
Built by Piriou’s shipyard in Vietnam, the two vessels will operate at the North Sea offshore wind farms.
Dave Armstrong, managing director of North Sea Logistics, said: “I am delighted with the performance of the new boats. They have proved on trials to be extremely capable in some very demanding conditions, and will be real assets to our UK/EU operations.”
The vessels, offering a 25 knots maximum speed, have a transfer capacity of 12 technicians, deck cargo capacity of up to 8 tonnes, and a 6 t/m fore deck crane. The WFSVs are designed by BMT Nigel Gee and certified by Bureau Veritas.
