HAV Design secures US offshore wind market breakthrough

 CREST has chosen HAV Group ASA's subsidiary HAV Design to develop a newbuild service operation vessel (SOV) destined for a US offshore wind project. The contract marks the US breakthrough for HAV Design, which becomes the first European ship designer to develop an SOV for the US market. "We have designed and developed numerous SOVs for use in demanding offshore climates, but this is the first time we are designing a vessel for the US market. We are confident in the operational benefits our vessel design brings to the table, so we believe that this contract can open the door for further work in the USA," says Gisle Vinjevoll Thrane, vice president of sales at Norway-based HAV Design. Further information about the contract and the vessel will be provided after HAV Design has signed the final contract with CREST's chosen shipyard.
