The company aims to deploy 40 offshore wind vessels by 2040, with eight vessels already delivered or under build and more in the pipeline. The company has committed over EUR 400 million in capital to purpose-built SOVs to date, supported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partnersgroup.com\/en\/about-us\/our-approach\">Partners Group<\/a> and financial partners, as it positions itself as a leading player in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Built to the Vard 4 22 design, the CSOVs \u2014 NB 975 and 976\u2014 are based on a proven platform but designed in close collaboration with North Star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a one-size-fits-all approach,\u201d says Vard, \u201cthese are customized vessels, developed to match North Star\u2019s specific strategy and the demands they see in the market.<br \/>\u201c<br \/>\u201cOur long-standing working relationship with Vard allows us to react quickly and shape each vessel to suit evolving operational needs,\u201d says Andrew Duncan, renewables &amp; innovations director at North Star. \u201cThese CSOVs are a result of that approach \u2013 designed, built and delivered to reflect what we need at sea. The working relationship formed over the last five successful years with Vard allow us to collaborate on the optimums \u2013 from operations, performance, comfort and windfarm workflow\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration between Vard and North Star extends beyond the two vessels now alongside at Vard Langsten. Work is already underway on the next generation of designs, including the MIDI class and vessels prepared for floating offshore wind. The partnership combines design agility with operational insight \u2014 ensuring readiness for the next wave of offshore wind development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing NB 975 and 976 alongside at Vard Langsten is a proud moment for all of us at Vard,\u201d says Runar V\u00e5gnes, SVP sales &amp; marketing at Vard. \u201cTogether with North Star, we\u2019ve designed and built highly advanced CSOVs that not only meet today\u2019s needs but are ready for tomorrow\u2019s offshore wind operations. This milestone reinforces our shared commitment to performance, innovation, and delivering sustainable business at sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/offshore\/offshore-wind\/video-two-north-star-csovs-are-now-alongside-the-quay-at-vard-langsten\/\">VIDEO: Two North Star CSOVs are now alongside the quay at Vard Langsten<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/offshore\/offshore-wind\/video-two-north-star-csovs-are-now-alongside-the-quay-at-vard-langsten\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=video-two-north-star-csovs-are-now-alongside-the-quay-at-vard-langsten\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIDEO: Two North Star CSOVs are now alongside the quay at Vard Langsten Two advanced commissioning service and operations vessels (CSOVs) under construction for Aberdeen, Scotland-headquartered North Star are now alongside the quay at the Vard Langsten shipyard in Norway, marking an important step in the long lasting cooperation between North Star and Fincantieri\u2019s Norwegian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4135,598,393,192,199,2883,54,58,4136,602,4137],"tags":[193],"class_list":["post-8837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-andrew-duncan","category-csov","category-fincantieri","category-marinelog","category-news","category-north-star","category-offshore","category-offshore-wind","category-runar-vagnes","category-vard","category-vard-4-22","tag-marinelog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8837"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8837\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krogragg.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
