Fred. Olsen Ocean AS and Teekay Offshore Partners have entered into an agreement to develop a new vessel design for the offshore wind market. The aim is to develop a vessel that fills the gap between crew transfer vessels (CTVs) and service operations vessels (SOVs).
John B. Andersen, VP Business Development in Fred. Olsen Windcarrier, will lead this new initiative and the corresponding team. The two companies are planning to co-develop a vessel that will allow technicians to access wind turbines in higher sea states at a lower cost. Sea trials will start in the beginning of 2017.
