Bernhard Schulte Offshore takes delivery of third CSOV in series

Key features of the CSOV include a motion-compensated walk-to work (W2W) gangway and elevator tower, a helicopter deck, a 3D-compensated crane, and a hybrid battery propulsion system that can be configured to enable operation on methanol fuel in the future.

The vessel also has Ulstein's patented twin-stern design with main propellers located fore and aft. The twin-stern solution has a characteristic hull shape that reduces resistance and motions, thus ensuring safer W2W operations.

The CSOV has 111 cabins for accommodating up to 132 people. Ulstein said lifesaving equipment is available for all on board.
