North Star has officially named its first commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV), the Grampian Kestrel, at a ceremony in Norway May 6.
Destined for use in the offshore wind sector, the new vessel will go on service with the German utility EnBW and precede the decade-long minimum charter contract the firm signed in 2024.
The vessel offers hotel quality accommodation and logistics.
The VARD 4 22 design has been developed in close collaboration with Vard Design in Ålesund, Norway. It also includes a high-performance daughter craft with space for a second.
It is the world’s first to achieve Lloyd’s Register’s Cyber Resilience classification, underscoring North Star’s “commitment to being a safe and reliable partner – for our employees, our clients, and the broader offshore wind industry.”
