North Star Secures First Mover Rights for New Offshore Wind Midi-SOV

The Midi-SOV is a 55-meter offshore wind craft ready for build in the European, Asian, and U.S. markets.
Chartwell and Vard’s Midi-SOV solution addresses challenges in the offshore wind sector by bridging the gap between CTVs and SOV, providing enhanced comfort and workability while offering a cost-effective alternative to full scale SOVs.
With a design that has been optimized based on operational data to meet the niche requirements of offshore wind developers and operators, the Midi-SOV is intended to directly complement existing fleets.
