FOSNAVÅG, Norway — Rem Offshore and Myklebust Verft have signed a contract for the construction of an energy subsea construction vessel with a 250-tonne crane.
The vessel will be delivered in 2026, and Rem Offshore says it will be the first of its kind that can perform heavy construction work in both offshore wind and subsea with net-zero emissions. The contract also contains an option to build one more vessel.
Skipsteknisk has designed a very flexible platform in close cooperation with Rem and Myklebust. Rem said the newbuild's energy consumption is almost halved compared to comparable tonnage in today's market, as well as meeting future requirements for zero emissions from end to end.
The vessel will be equipped with dual-fuel methanol engines in combination with battery packs. All offshore lifting equipment, including the 250-tonne crane, is electric and regenerates power to the batteries. The working deck is more than 1,400 sq m, and it is also prepared for the installation of an offshore gangway for use in offshore wind.
