Two new state-of-the-art offshore wind vessels are heading to Grimsby

Grimsby is to welcome two new state-of-the-art ‘green fuel’ vessels to serve the offshore wind sector.

RWE has signed an agreement for the striking SOVs to support its Triton Knoll and Sofia farms from the port. They will be deployed on operations and maintenance activity, and will have the capability of being powered by methanol and batteries - with 10,000 tonnes of CO2 to be saved annually.

Dutch operator Acta Marine will start building the vessels at Tersan Shipyards in Turkey imminently, and they will be anticipated under the Dock Tower in 2025 and 2026. There the SX216 class sister vessels will join Orsted’s SOV fleet in the Royal Dock, where RWE’s base is being expanded to welcome further wind farm developments.
