Launch of Shanghai Electric SOVs

The two Ulstein-designed Service Operation Vessels for Shanghai Electric were launched at their construction yard, ZPMC, in China on 16 September 2023.
The two vessels are of the ULSTEIN SX195 and SX197 design, carrying 100 POB and 60 POB, respectively. They are the first purpose-made SOVs for China offshore wind farms and are scheduled to enter into service in 2024.
The vessels have the Ulstein iconic design features, the ULSTEIN X-BOW and X-STERN, providing a highly efficient, robust, and state-of-the-art O&M service platform to the end customers. With batteries installed, the vessels will have a greener footprint when servicing the renewable energy segment.
