One of the big game changers in ESVAGT’s Service Operation Vessel (SOV) concept for offshore wind farms has been ESVAGT’s unique Safe Transfer Boats (STB), which are used for transferring turbine technicians safely from the mother ship to the turbines.
Company executives gather today at Port of Oostende to christen the ‘Esvagt Mercator’; as the ship readies to support more than 100 offshore wind turbines in Belgian waters.
ESVAGT is investing significantly in strengthening and developing Fast Rescue Boat (FRB) sailing skills for its employees.
ESVAGT’s pioneering Service Operation Vessel concept has surpassed expectations but its potential is far from fully exploited yet.
ESVAGT extends its strong UK presence: the ’Esvagt Castor’ will be standby and man overboard rescue vessel on the 1,200 mW offshore wind energy farm project in the UK sector.
After focused efforts, ESVAGT is now strongly established in the British sector of the North Sea, where the shipping company now has 14 vessels on contract.
A new agreement with Petrofac strengthens ESVAGT’s presence in the highly competitive UK production market.
Every ESVAGT vessel now has the Sertica system implemented for purchasing and maintenance. It ensures quality, reduces the risk of breakdowns and can eliminate error related costs.
Colleagues onboard the ’Esvagt Server’ can hold their heads high after completing a rig move of the ’Crossway Eagle’, a jack-up accommodation platform for Maersk Oil in the Danish sector.
After a 2016 entirely without LTI, ESVAGT has recorded a few lost time incidents in 2017. “We must strengthen our safety culture and prioritise our focus on good behaviours,” says head of HSEQ, Charlotte Feldvoss.
