The Gothenburg-headquartered marine service company Northern Offshore Services (NOS) has announced that they enter a new segment of tonnage by buying from Edda Wind their Mistral Enabler.
The new purchased vessel is a Service Operation Vessel (SOV) and she will be renamed Northern Ocean.
NOS informs that the acquisition is made through a new holding company, together with the Swedish shipping company Rederi AB Älvtank.
This purpose-built vessel is designed to provide safe and easy access for wind farm personnel and technicians, with high-standard, comfortable accommodations at sea.
Adding this SOV to the NOS fleet will enhance their ability to support offshore operations and the offshore wind industry, as the company mentions.
David Kristensson, CEO of Northern Offshore Group, says that “We’re entering a new segment, but with our previous SOV experience, we’re confident in our ability to support our operations. This vessel will significantly improve comfort and work efficiency for our crew and customers.”
