Louis Dreyfus Armateurs and Tidal Transit JV LD Tide has been selected to provide two CTVs to the 480MW Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm.
Under the contract with GE Renewable Energy Offshore Wind, two units will be designed by naval architect MAURIC and built by French shipyard OCEA.
The construction of the two CTVs will start in 2021 with commissioning scheduled for 2022.
With 80 GE Haliade 150-6MW wind turbines, the French wind farm will supply 20% of the electricity consumption of the Loire-Atlantique department.
The two CTVs will sail under the French flag and will have the mission of ensuring the transfer of up to 24 technicians between the coast and the farm for wind turbines maintenance.
