Purus, a leading shipowner and operator in offshore wind, is proud to announce the acquisition of the Service Operation Vessel (SOV) from Edda Wind to join its fleet of construction/service operation vessels (C/SOVs) and crew transfer vessels (CTVs). The vessel will be renamed Purus Horizon.

Purus Horizon will support the lifecycle of offshore wind farms across Europe by providing safe access to both fixed-foundation and floating wind turbine generators for construction and maintenance.

This is a versatile vessel that can perform a variety of tasks during the construction and operations phases, including transporting components, providing accommodation and walk to work services for offshore personnel, and serving as a platform for crane operations.

The decarbonisation strategy for Purus Horizon is to upgrade the vessel to IMO Tier III within Q2 2024 to provide large NOx and SOx savings, and hybridisation in the future.
