The vessels will be jack-ups of GustoMSC design and will be prepared to handle the next-generation wind turbines. The vessels will feature battery hybrid solutions as well as a sophisticated electrical and control system, reducing CO2 emissions by 20 percent compared to similar units. The first vessel will be delivered in early 2023.
