Dong Fang Offshore and Vard ink deal for commissioning service operation vessel

This will provide services for Taiwan’s offshore wind projects.

Dong Fang Offshore (DFO) has tapped Vard for the design and construction of another commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV).

In a statement, Vard said the new project is a sister vessel to the two vessels it contracted with DFO in May 2024.

“The design has focus on low environmental footprint with efficient machinery and propulsion set-up for high station keeping capabilities, improved workability, and operational reliability, and a hull shape that supports the fuel-efficient CSOV operation,” Vard said.

It also has a large external deck for future integration of a modular power and fibre optic cable lay and repair spread.

DFO said the vessel will have a service contract of at least 15 years after delivery to serve an undisclosed wind farm customer in Taiwan.
