Empire Offshore Wind, a joint venture between Equinor and BP, announced in May that it awarded a long-term service operations vessel (SOV) contract to Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO). The plug-in hybrid SOV will be the first in the U.S. offshore wind sector capable of sailing partly on battery power. The vessel will accommodate up to 60 wind turbine technicians and will be utilized for the safe and efficient operations and maintenance of the Empire Wind 1 and Empire Wind 2 offshore wind farms. The charter agreement has a fixed period of 10 years, beginning in the mid-2020s. No vessel specifications were announced. |
