Turkey’s Tersan Shipyard last week celebrated the steel cutting of NB1121, the second offshore wind farm support vessel being built for Acta Marine projects.

The shipyard is building two DP2 Construction Service Operation Vessels (CSOV) powered by methanol and MDO/HVO for the Dutch shipowner. Construction of the first ship began in January.

The two vessels were designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS in collaboration with Acta Marine and are intended to be used in the offshore wind market.

The ships will feature a TWIN-X stern, an integrated catwalk system, a 3D crane and hotel-style accommodation areas.

The 89 meter long and 19 meter wide ships will each offer space for up to 135 people in 85 cabins.

The CSOVs will be fitted with SMST motion-compensated gangway systems mounted on the integrated towers with height adjustment and a passenger/cargo lift.

In addition to the advanced gangway system, Acta Marine’s CSOV duo will feature a 6 tonne 3D motion compensated crane, also from SMST, and 500 m2 of internal and 500 m2 of external decks.

The two ships are scheduled for delivery in the second and third quarters of 2024.
