KESTO, a joint venture between Denmark’s ESVAGT and South Korea’s KMC Line, has secured its first contracts to provide offshore service logistics for Vestas at the Shinan-Ui offshore wind farm in South Korea.
From 2028 and for a minimum period of 10 years, KESTO will provide vessels to support Vestas’ service scope at the Shinan-Ui project. KESTO will begin servicing Vestas during the construction phase and will continue to deliver service operations once the wind farm becomes operational, with activities scheduled to run until 2039.
KESTO has initiated construction of two 27-metre crew transfer vessels (CTVs), each with capacity for 24 technicians. The vessels will be used to support daily service and maintenance activities on Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines at the wind farm.
The vessels, which are of European design, will be built at a South Korean shipyard, with delivery scheduled for the first quarter of 2028. KESTO said the decision supports its commitment to developing the local supply chain.
Crew will be sourced through KMC Line’s maritime network in South Korea, including cooperation with Korean maritime universities, with joint training planned aboard ESVAGT vessels ahead of operations.
