DONG Energy has signed a contract with Solstad Offshore for two construction support vessels (CSVs) to be used on offshore wind projects.

The offshore wind developer hired CSV Rem Installer for a period of 23 months with further 6 months option and an additional CSV from Solstad’s fleet, to be nominated at a later stage, for a period of 7 months with further 8 months option.

Rem Installer, which will be renamed Normand Jarl, will start working for DONG Energy in February 2017, while the contract for the second vessel will commence on 1 April 2018.

Solstad Offshore left any further information undisclosed and stated that the commercial terms are confidential between the parties.
