Ørsted said that while previous agreements included extension options, the company has elected to enter into new long-term contracts for the entire Windcat fleet.

All vessels have been operational on Ørsted’s offshore wind farms based out of Grimsby.

“With four 12-seater vessels and three high performance 24-seater vessels, [Ørsted has] a versatile fleet that ensures high accessibility and flexibility,” said Willem van der Wel, Managing Director at Windcat Workboats.
