Austri Enabler has secured a 12 months (plus options) contract following delivery and will commence operation outside UK in Q3 2025.
Austri Enabler is the fourth and last vessel in a series of four sister vessels from Gondan and follows Nordri Enabler, Sudri Enabler and Vestri Enabler. In total, Austri Enabler represents the eight vessel that Gondan has successfully delivered to Edda Wind.
Austri Enabler and her sister vessels are designed to set a new standard in the offshore wind market. Every effort has been made in the design to maximize the efficiency of operations in the wind farm. In addition, Austri Enabler is prepared for running emission-free operations with a hydrogen-based propulsion system (LOHC). The vessel will serve as mother vessel for wind turbine technicians as they perform commissioning and maintenance work on offshore wind turbines. The CSOV is 88.3 in length and can accommodate up to 120 persons in total.
