Maritime Montering, a global leader in high-quality ship interior solutions, has been awarded a significant new contract by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) following a competitive international tender. The agreement covers the full turnkey delivery of accommodation and HVAC systems for a new hybrid Service Operation Vessel (SOV) being built for North Star Shipping, a leading UK-based offshore energy support operator
The vessel is the second in CSL’s current program for North Star, following the VARD 4 19 SOV design, and is being built to meet the demanding needs of the offshore wind industry.
The newbuild SOV will feature a walk-to-work gangway system (W2W) with a corresponding elevator for seamless, step-less access to the transition piece. Designed as both a logistics hub and floating accommodation, the vessel will house up to 80 people in single cabins, including crew and offshore wind specialists responsible for maintaining turbines.
Maritime Montering will deliver 2,883 sqm of turnkey accommodation, including all interior outfitting and HVAC systems. The project will be executed by the company’s international teams in Romania and India, combining local presence with global expertise.
