The launch ceremony was attended by China offshore wind farm developers like the State Power Investment Corporation, Three Gorges Corporation, and China Nuclear Power.

The two vessels are of the ULSTEIN SX195 and SX197 design, carrying 100 POB and 60 POB, respectively.

The SOVs are scheduled to enter into service in 2024.

The vessels for Shanghai Electric contain two different designs with Ulstein’s X-BOW® and X-STERN® features.
