Kongsberg Maritime has secured contracts with Ulstein Verft to supply integrated equipment package to four CSOVs

Kongsberg Maritime will supply an extensive equipment package for four windfarm Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOV), two for Bernhard Schulte Offshore and two for J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

The 90 metre vessels are being built at Ulstein Verft AS, to the ULSTEIN SX222 design. Kongsberg Maritime will supply the same range of equipment to all four vessels.

The Kongsberg Maritime package tightly integrates US 205 azimuth thrusters with the K-Power DC Hybrid solution, the K-Chief EMS/IAS and the rest of the K-Line control systems for a new level of smart energy management.

It will be controlled from a modern and efficient fully integrated K-Master Bridge solution, covering K-Bridge Navigation, K-Thrust and an advanced K-Pos W2W DP system.

Sondre Næslund Larsson, Sales Director – Offshore, Kongsberg Maritime, said: “We are delighted to have been trusted by Ulstein Verft and the owners to supply an extensive range of equipment to their high-quality vessels.  

“The demand for offshore wind vessels is increasing and so is the requirement for them to be energy efficient and ready for future regulations.

“Kongsberg Maritime brings a wealth of experience through efficient electrical, propulsion and control systems. The flow of information between the systems enables new functionality for enhanced efficiency and improved safety. We look forward to working with Ulstein Verft and the owners as this exciting project develops”.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
