Windea CTV, a partnership of Hornblower Wind and MidOcean Wind, has taken delivery of the third vessel in a series of windfarm crewboats to be built by St Johns Ship Building (SJSB) of Palatka, Florida.
Windea Reliance is a sister of Windea Courageous, which was delivered by SJSB in January 2024, and Windea Enterprise, which was handed over later that same year.
The design and construction ensures that the crewboat and its sisters are tailored specifically to meet the unique set of domestic regulations in the United States.
Windea Reliance has an LOA of 98.4 feet (30 metres), a beam of 32.75 feet (10 metres), a draught of only 4.58 feet (1.4 metres), a depth of 14.25 feet (4.35 metres), a deadweight of 50, and space for six crewmembers and up to 24 technicians.
The technicians will be housed in the safety and comfort of a resiliently mounted superstructure. In addition to spacious seating, the main deck level of the superstructure features a large galley and mess, two bathrooms, and dedicated internal storage space.
The upper deck level features a large, elevated wheelhouse as well as two single cabins, two double cabins, and three bathrooms for the crew. The wheelhouse itself has windscreens that are reverse-angled to reduce glare.
