The MSOV idea is a collaboration throughout NOV’s marine and building companies
Add one other to the string of offshore wind service vessels classes. In addition to SOVs and CSOVs, now you can embody modular service and operations vessels (MSOVs). The idea has been developed by Houston-headquartered NOV Inc. (NYSE: NOV), which was referred to as National Oilwell Varco.

Featuring Remacut cable-lay equipment, the vessel is a flexible workhorse is designed for cable restore and change-out, subsea inspection and intervention, and mooring set up for floating wind farms.
GustoMSC says the Enhydra MSOV sequence of offshore wind service vessels expands on its profitable offshore wind set up portfolio (which incorporates the Dominion Energy WITV presently beneath building on the Keppel AmFELS shipyard in Brownsville, Texas).
Featues of the Enhydra MSOV embody:
- Methanol-powered, offering zero SOx and decreased NOx emissions
- Integrated but modular mission deck tools
