Crew transfer specialist Patriot Offshore Maritime Services, a subsidiary of Liberty Green Logistics, has been awarded a 10-year CTV contract for work on Equinor’s Empire Wind project.

The vessel, which will be Jones Act-compliant and built in a US shipyard, will service Equinor’s offshore wind farm during construction as well as the operation and maintenance phase. The CTV will begin operations in 2026.

This is the second newbuild CTV contract for Patriot Offshore. The company took delivery of its first CTV, the Patriot Leader in 2024. The purpose-built vessel will be providing transportation services to several offshore wind farms along the US east coast over the coming years.

“The investment platform and vessel operation services the Liberty group provides, enable Patriot the ability to construct multiple vessels and provide expanded logistics services to developers, tier 1 installation contractors, and other wind farm suppliers,” said Michael Landry, CEO of Patriot Offshore.

This latest contract is in alignment with the company’s target of becoming the preferred CTV supplier across US-based offshore wind farms.

“I am pleased to see the market embracing  Liberty and Patriot as trusted brands in the US flag space where we remain committed to continuing strategic investments and providing top-class supply chain services to customers who place their trust in us,” added Josh Shapiro, CEO of Liberty Green.
