Norway's Farstad and Volstad families have revealed a move into offshore wind farm shipping through a new order with Fincantieri-owned Vard.
The shipowners are behind a new venture called Norwind Offshore, based in Alesund, that has inked a series of up to four commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs) and bought a platform supply vessel for conversion.
The two firm CSOVs and the conversion of the PSV into a service operation vessel (SOV) will cost NOK 1.4bn
