CWind
Construction, Operations and Export
Chelmsford-based CWind are a leader in CTVs, project services and offshore training and have worked to support Ørsted on a number of our UK and European projects. In 2019 CWind secured today a long-term charter contract agreement with Ørsted for the world’s first hybrid powered Surface Effect Ship (SES) to Borssele 1 and 2 offshore wind farms in the Netherlands. The Hybrid SES has been developed in response to an industry-wide push to develop and deploy innovative technologies that reduce CO2 emissions, whilst cost effectively servicing wind farms. The Hybrid SES crew transfer vessel was developed in partnership with ESNA, a ship design company based in Kristiansand, Norway and will be built by Wight Shipyard Company, a leading UK boat builder.
