The offshore wind energy industry is about to be boosted by an innovative collaboration between Marco Polo Marine and Vestas, consolidating an agreement for the construction of a revolutionary Commissioning Service Operations Ship (CSOV), as published by MarineLink. ANDThis critical milestone promises to redefine the offshore wind energy landscape in the Asia-Pacific region.

Commitment to Efficiency: Marco Polo Marine’s New CSOV

The new CSOV, currently under construction at the Marco Polo Shipyard in Batam, Indonesia, represents a solid commitment to operational efficiency. With capacity for 110 peoples, the vessel will be deployed to several offshore wind farms in the Asia-Pacific region over three years. The focus on minimum annual utilization highlights not only Marco Polo Marine's strategic vision, but also the pursuit of sustainable and efficient operations.

Innovation and Environmental Sustainability: Technology on Board CSOV

Marco Polo Marine's 83 meter long CSOV is not just a vessel, but a technologically advanced platform.The. Equipped with a working walkway and a motion-compensated 3D crane, the vessel leads innovation in the industry. Additionally, embedded hybrid energy storage systems will reduce carbon emissions by up to 20%, aligning with the most stringent environmental standards. This sustainable approach positions CSOV as a reference in the transition to cleaner energy.

Rising Demands and Projections for Offshore Wind Energy in Asia

Citing the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) report, Marco Polo Marine highlights growing demand in Asia, predicting a shortage of specialized vessels for offshore wind installations. With ambitious projections for the installation of 10 GW in 2026 and almost 15 GW by 2030 In the region, collaboration with Vestas appears as a strategic response to meet this growing demand. This is just the beginning of a journey that could see the region reach an impressive 613 GW of offshore wind installations by 2050.

In this context of expected growth, Marco Polo Marine positions itself not only as a leading company, but as a driver of transformation in the offshore wind energy industry. This agreement not only meets immediate demands, but anticipates and shapes the future of sustainable energy in the Asia-Pacific region.
