Singapore’s Cyan Renewables has chosen Ulstein to design its new offshore wind basis set up vessels
With offshore wind ambitions ramping up worldwide, lots of people have been listening to a probable tightness within the provide of basis set up vessels. Now, Singapore-headquartered Cyan Renewables has contracted Ulstein Design & Solutions BV to design a sequence of vessels, saying that, with an rising lack of heavy carry set up vessels, the brand new vessels are wanted to fill the hole.
“With their strong track record in heavy lift vessel design and a good understanding of the market constraints and requirements, Ulstein is the preferred partner to design our new vessels,” says Torgeir E. Ramstad, Cyan Renewables’ managing director FIV division. “Cyan Renewables will be a leading global vessel provider to offshore wind by partnering with Developers and EPCI and T&I contractors based on future-proof vessels in all categories.”
“We are very pleased that Cyan recognizes our added value and is placing their trust in us to realize their ambitions in offshore wind,” says Edwin van Leeuwen, managing director at Ulstein Design & Solutions BV. “Back in time, we predicted a scarcity of basis set up vessels and as developments go quick, our R&D focus has been on future-oriented FIV designs to swimsuit the exponential progress of offshore wind.
The new Cyan FIVs will characteristic ample deck area and crane capability to fulfill developments in basis design, together with monopiles and jackets. In addition, they will even have low emission functionality, utilizing a hybrid energy system consisting of dual-fuel engines (methanol), shore energy and a battery power storage system.
“Part of our R&D work included a new method to develop the business case and ship design simultaneously. With this Ulstein blended design method, we explored thousands of ship designs to find the most future-proof solutions,” says Ko Stroo, product supervisor/lead naval architect at Ulstein Design & Solutions BV. “Working with multiple future growth scenarios for offshore wind, allows us to support Cyan in finding the optimum business case and vessel design.”
