Sweden-based CTV owner and operator Northern Offshore Services has entered the SOV sector through an acquisition of one of Edda Wind’s vessels.
The Norwegian offshore wind support vessel pureplay said in an Oslo Bors filing on Wednesday that it sold the 2018-built Mistral Enabler to an unnamed buyer.
Closing of the transaction is expected to take place in early April 2025. The vessel is currently working on a contract for Danish offshore wind giant Ørsted. The current contract with the Danish firm will transition to the new owner of the vessel.
Northern Offshore Services revealed in a social media post on Thursday that it was the buyer of the vessel. The acquisition meant that the company was entering a new segment as the Mistral Enabler will be the first SOV in its fleet.
According to the company, the vessel will be renamed Northern Ocean and will be used to provide safe and easy access for wind farm personnel and technicians.
