"Cochin Shipyard Secures European Order for Wind Farm Service Operation Vessel"

Cochin Shipyard Limited has secured a significant international order from a European client for the construction of hybrid Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) dedicated to the offshore wind renewables market, with an option for an additional vessel. The move comes as global attention shifts towards sustainable and green energy solutions, with a particular focus on the expanding offshore renewable energy sector.

Recognizing the pivotal role that hybrid SOVs play in the specialized renewables segment, Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) is poised to contribute to the offshore wind industry with its proven track record in offshore support vessels. The SOVs, designed by VARD AS in Norway, are tailored to meet the service, maintenance, and operational requirements of the offshore wind sector.

As the demand for renewable energy solutions continues to grow globally, CSL's foray into constructing these specialized vessels underscores its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the industry. The company has been actively engaged in international shipbuilding for over two decades, having delivered more than 50 high-end vessels to countries including the USA, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, and the Middle East.

Additionally, CSL is making swift progress in the construction of a series of eight Multi-Purpose Vessels for a German client, further solidifying its position in the competitive international shipbuilding arena. The recent European order for hybrid SOVs reinforces CSL's presence as a key player in the renewable energy sector and highlights its capabilities in delivering cutting-edge vessels tailored to the evolving demands of the offshore industry.
