Contract extension for CBED’s Wind Evolution until January 2026


Only six months into the Wind Evolution contract with Hughes Subsea, an OEG Renewables company, CBED is pleased to share that this contract has been extended one year and thereby will run until January 2026.

Earlier this year, CBED announced the first project for the newly acquired CSOV, Wind Evolution, with Hughes Subsea. Since then, Wind Evolution has been assigned to the offshore wind farm, Dogger Bank, in Teesside, UK where she will continue to serve as a walk-to-work CSOV.

This project award is the first time Hughes Subsea and CBED work together.

Daniel Alon, General Manager, CBED:

From the beginning, we have had a very good cooperation with Hughes Subsea, and we are very pleased that they have decided to extend the contract. They are extremely professional and have a unique understanding for planning and operating Wind Evolution to utilise the CSOV best possible and keep efficiency high on this project.

Everyone in CBED looks forward to our continued cooperation with Hughes Subsea, not least our Wind Evolution crew who are also very satisfied with the daily cooperation with Hughes Subsea onboard.”

Mike Bailey, Managing Director, Hughes Subsea, an OEG Renewables company:

“Hughes Subsea is pleased to continue utilization of the Wind Evolution with CBED, the vessel and crew have performed exceptionally well since its inception in April 2024. The vessel provides a safe & efficient platform for our dedicated technicians. The cooperation between Hughes Subsea & CBED serves to enhance our reputation as a trusted supplier to Energy Industry. We look forward to a further safe & successful year throughout 2025 and beyond.”

Suitable for both walk-to-work and IRM projects

While Wind Evolution currently serves as a walk-to-work vessel, her open deck and crane specifications also makes the CSOV a great fit for several other offshore projects, including IRM.
