OEG has taken delivery of a new multi-purpose crew transfer vessel (CTV), Fulmar, following successful sea trials, the company said.
The vessel will operate in UK waters and has already secured its first charter in Scotland to support construction of the Inch Cape offshore wind farm, a 1.1GW project located about 15km off the Angus coast.
Fulmar can transport up to 24 personnel for high-speed transfers and can be configured for extended offshore deployments. The workboat will handle crew and cargo transfers to the offshore substation platform and support servicing of OEG welfare units.
Designed by Chartwell Marine and built by Diverse Marine, Fulmar is the second Chartwell-designed vessel to join OEG’s fleet after Furioso in 2024.
Marine services director Leif Cooper said the addition reflects the company’s commitment to the growing Scottish offshore wind market.
“As Scotland’s offshore wind industry continues to grow, OEG is committed to supporting the sector and the supply chain,” Cooper said.
“We are focused on modernising and streamlining our fleet, introducing newbuilds with lower emissions and higher performance capabilities, and Fulmar is the latest addition in partnership with Chartwell Marine, strengthening our existing capacity,” he added.
OEG currently operates 15 multi-purpose CTVs across the UK, Europe and Taiwan and is progressing a wider fleet modernisation programme that includes vessel disposals.
