    CUT OFF, Louisiana – The first US-flagged Jones Act offshore wind farm service operation vessel (SOV) ever ordered will be built to ABS Class.

    Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) will engineer, construct, and operate the SOV for long-term charter to service the planned Revolution Wind, South Fork Wind and Sunrise Wind offshore wind farms in the northeast US.

    The 80-m (262-ft) long vessel is expected to operate on diesel electric power meeting EPA Tier 4 emission standards and feature proprietary ECO variable frequency drive to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It will also be capable of housing 70 passengers/wind turbine technicians.
