Edda Wind has taken delivery of a commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV) from Vietnamese shipyard, Vard Vung Tau. Upon commissioning, the Monsoon Enabler will be deployed in Taiwanese waters until the end of the year.
The vessel is one of a series of four sister ships designed specifically for the Norwegian company. Their specification has focused on maximising flexibility and operability so that they can be deployed on wind farms anywhere in the world.
The 87.5m-long Monsoon Enabler is prepared for zero-emission operations based on a liquid organic hydrogen carrier concept and is ‘ready’ to use methanol as fuel. The vessel has accommodation for up to 120 persons.
Taiwan is the second largest offshore wind developer in the Asia Pacific region and, with new capacity coming on stream this year, is expected to rank sixth in the world by December.
