The 85.5-metre-long Cyan Wind Seeker is a hybrid-diesel electric SOV, a version of the VARD 4 19 design tailored for service operations for Siemens Gamesa at the 1,044 MW Hai Long offshore wind farm, according to earlier information about the vessel.
The SOV is fitted with fuel-efficient propulsion technology, including Siemens BlueDrive and hybrid battery systems, enabling lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and quieter operations, Cyan Renewables said.
The Hai Long offshore wind farm, consisting of three phases located approximately 45-70 kilometres off the Changhua coast in the Taiwan Strait, is nearing completion as wind turbines are currently being installed on the third phase.
