Joined by government and community officials, customers and special guests, Siemens this week celebrated the official christenings of the offshore wind industry’s very first, purpose-built Service Operation Vessels (SOV). The christening events took place in cooperation with Esvagt A/S, owner of the two vessels, in Rostock, Germany, and Hamburg, Germany.
Siemens, the global leader in offshore wind power and wind power service, is the first in the industry to design and commission this new type of vessel specifically engineered to service and maintain far shore wind power plants. Working in concert with Siemens’ customer-tailored offshore logistics concept, advanced data analytics and predictive maintenance programs, the SOVs are designed to help Siemens’ customers secure more uptime and power production from their turbines, thereby helping lower the costs of wind energy.
