The SOV are the first two such ships built in Spain... among their objectives, their main mission will be to house and place the technicians responsible for the maintenance of the wind turbines in the North Sea

The first SOV (Service Operation Vessel) built in Spain, the Edda Passat, has been delivered to the shipowner Østensjø Rederi A / S... the ship will set out to the wind park of Race Bank, United Kingdom, soon.

Edda Passat, as well as his twin, Edda Mistral, have about 81 m in length and 17 m in sleeve. They have the capacity to accommodate up to 40 technicians who will carry out maintenance work in these wind parks, and a crew of about 20.

Both ships are equipped with a gateway for the access of the technicians to the mills, Uptime and a SMST 3D-compensated crane, as well as cranes of supplies from Palfinger. On the other hand, the cooling and air conditioning system in all the spaces of the ship has been carried out by Teknotherm, and of its installation on board, the Spanish company Exacta has been commissioned.

In addition to the catwalk, they have the possibility of deploying an 11-metre auxiliary vessel, which will allow the transfer of technicians for the maintenance of wind facilities in a safe manner.
