Northern Offshore Services (NOS) and Japanese shipping outfit NYK have concluded a charter contract for a crew transfer vessel (CTV) to service offshore wind farms in European waters.
NYK-owned CTV, Energizer, will be chartered to NOS through a 10-year bareboat charter contract to transfer crews to offshore wind power stations, mainly in Europe, under the operation of NOS.
NYK has additionally agreed to dispatch its engineers to NOS to participate in operations and ship management in Europe in preparation for the development of the CTV business in Japan.
NOS and its parent Norwegian Offshore Group (NOG) operate over 60 CTVs in the offshore wind power market in Europe.
