FOLLOWING the recent contract signing for the first ever Damen Ser-vice Operations Vessel (SOV) with walk-to-work capability, the first steel was cut this week at Damen Shipyards Galati. Damen is construct-ing the innovative vessel for UK-based client Bibby Marine Services.

To be named Bibby WaveMaster 1, the vessel will be deployed in the North Sea to support forthcoming offshore wind construction and O&M projects.

Damen Sr. Project Manager René Hooijman said: “This is a signif-icant moment for this vessel and for both Damen and Bibby Marine Services. The beginning of the physical construction process is a cause for celebration after years of planning and development.

The SOV is the result of extensive consultation within the offshore wind industry that has led to the design of a completely new concept from the hull up. It is therefore great to see the project come to life to-day with cutting of the first steel exactly according to planning. Assem-bly of the hull will start in April and the launch of the vessel is planned for early next year.”

The SOV design provides a bespoke solution for operators involved in the transfer and accommodation of offshore wind personnel. In con-sultation with its partners in the offshore industry, Damen identified demand for a vessel capable of remaining at sea for long periods of time while continuously deploying and retrieving engineers and sup-port workers along with their equipment and components. Keeping the personnel in good shape throughout the mission and the ability to op-erate in a wide range of weather conditions were also factored into the design as key requirements.

To achieve these goals, the development programme established that positioning the accommodation amidships, combined with a shallower draught made the vessel more stable, delivering optimal comfortable living conditions and more efficient dynamic positioning.

Primary access to offshore structures is via a motion-compensated gangway.
