Northern Offshore Services has announced that they have taken delivery of the two newest additions to its fleet – the R-Class vessels M/V Runner and M/V Responder.
The two sister vessels were constructed in Singapore at Penguin Shipyard during 2023 and are now ready for operation in Europe. The R-Class vessels has a future proofed automation system, N-O-S Green Technology solutions, and a flexible engine configuration designed to only use the power that the current situation requires. Being a larger vessel, the R-Class will be able to handle the conditions faced on the existing and future wind farms. The R-Class can stay offshore for longer periods, reducing the need to go back to port. The vessels will be able to stay offshore during 24-hour operation.
