The Service Operation Vessel (SOV) Edda Mistral has left the Ria del Eo, Spain, to head towards the Port of Gijón where the vessel will complete her sea trials over the next weeks.
Built by Spain’s Gondan for the Norwegian shipowner Østensjø Rederi A / S, Edda Mistral will operate on Ørsted’s Hornsea Project One wind farm in the UK. Her sister vessel, Edda Passat, also built by Gondan for Østensjø Rederi, is deployed on Ørsted’s Race Bank wind farm in the UK.
Both vessels have contracts for a fixed period of five years, plus five one-year options.
With 81m in length and a 17m beam, the vessels have the capacity to accommodate a crew of up to 20 people and up to 40 technicians who will perform maintenance tasks at the wind farms.
Both vessels are equipped with a 23-meter-long Uptime heave compensated walk-to-work gangway, a 3D compensated crane and a CTV landing system with bunkering facility. In addition to the gangway, the vessels are equipped with a Helideck and an 11m daughter craft.
