Presentation

Edda Wind is the offshore wind arm of Østensjø Rederi, a maritime services company founded in 1974 with worldwide operations in OSV, towage and accommodation. Østensjø Rederi is headquartered in Haugesund, Norway and has offices in Aberdeen, Southampton and Malta.

Edda Wind currently owns two service operation vessels (SOV) that are designed to provide access for personnel to wind turbine generators. The vessels were built at Gondan in 2017 and 2018, with both contracted for five firm years plus five one-year options with Ørsted in the UK. In October 2019, Edda Wind ordered four commissioning service operation vessels (CSOV) from Gondan that are designed for service operations during the commissioning and operation of offshore wind farms. The first vessel is scheduled for delivery in early 2022. The company also has slots with the shipyard for more sister vessels. Edda has been awarded contracts for two of these newbuilds by MHI Vestas and Ocean Breeze Energy. The contract with Ocean Breeze will commence in Q1’21 and has a firm period of eleven years, while the contract with MHI Vestas will commence in Q2’22 and has a firm period of 15 years.
