Two new CSOVs (Commissioning Service Operation Vessels), the NB 975 and NB 976, are at VARD’s Langsten shipyard, marking a breakthrough in North Star’s offshore wind fleet growth strategy.<\/p>\n\n
Both vessels are part of the VARD 4 22 design, developed in collaboration with VARD to meet the specific needs of the offshore sector. offshore sector<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Each unit has been designed to offer high efficiency, operational comfort and logistical capability in complex environments.

The NB 975 and 976 are not generic models, but customized units that integrate operational feedback and field-proven technology. <\/p>\n\n While the new vessels are getting ready to go into operation, VARD and North Star are already working on future classes such as the MIDI<\/a><\/strong>focused on floating structures.
