Service vessel Yno 320 can accommodate up to 132 people Ulstein Verft has launched a new “state-of-the-art” Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) for BS Offshore. The new Yno 320 can accommodate up to 132 crew members and clients. The launch of the vessel followed an extensive outfitting phase that included the installation of electrical and mechanical systems, piping, accommodation, and system integration. The Yno 320 was towed from Ulstein Verft’s dock hall in Norway to the outer dock. While stationed in the outer dock, the Ampelmann tower and gangway were installed. The vessel has now been taken into the sea and positioned quayside, where she will remain until sea trials commence. Featuring the TWIN X-STERN design, the Yno 320 is equipped with advanced technology, such as a 3D-compensated crane and a Walk-to-Work gangway, ensuring safe and efficient personnel and cargo transfer to offshore wind turbine facilities, Ulstein said. Its diesel-electric propulsion system and substantial battery energy storage “significantly reduce” its environmental footprint and prepare it for methanol as fuel. An Ulstein spokesperson said: “The launch of this CSOV new-build marks a leap forward in supporting the offshore wind industry. “The vessel offers modern, high-comfort accommodation for up to 132 crew and clients. “The vessel is planned for delivery in Q2 2025, enhancing BS Offshores operational capabilities.” |
