Singapore-based shipbuilder Strategic Marine has won a contract for the construction of a CTV for Poland’s state-owned firm Lotos Petrobaltic.
This CTV will join the existing fleet managed by Miliana Shipmanagement, a company belonging to the Lotos Petrobaltic capital group, which owns five offshore vessels. The CTV is scheduled to be completed this summer, with delivery to Europe in early September 2024.
This Stratcat 27 is designated to be the first unit of its type to provide services in the Poland offshore wind farm market. The vessel will begin service by performing transfers of technicians in the North Sea, and ultimately in the Polish exclusive economic zone of the Baltic Sea.
The CTV meets the latest Tier III emission requirements and is adapted to install a hybrid system in the next stage. The unit will be adapted to operate in the more severe conditions of the Baltic Sea thanks to the installation of reinforced hull plating. The ship is designed to accommodate up to nine crew members and 24 passengers.
“The contract for the construction of a new CTV StratCat 27 vessel for Miliana Shipmanagement is another step for us towards creating a fleet of vessels servicing Polish offshore wind farms,” said Grzegorz Strzelczyk, president of the Lotos Petrobaltic management board.
The Gdansk-headquartered Lotos Petrobaltic is owned by the government of Poland and is the only Polish mining company dealing with the exploration and extraction of oil and gas deposits on the Polish shelf of the Baltic Sea.
