An era of green energy: Edda Wind launches «Enabler» line with naming of "Sudri Enabler"

Haugesund, May 4, 2024 

Today, Edda Wind ASA ("Edda Wind" or the "Company") celebrated the 
naming ceremony of "Sudri Enabler". The vessel then became the first in the
company's new line of 
vessel names. The traditional ceremony took place at Gondan Shipbuilders in
Spain. 

The Lady Sponsor was Martha Kold Monclair, board member in Edda Wind ASA.  

Sudri comes from Nordic mythology and represents one of the four characters
(Sudri, Nordri, Vestri 
and Austri) holding up the sky after it was made by the Gods from the skull of
Ymir. 

The new vessel's name was not chosen at random. All vessels at Edda Wind will be
renamed «[ship 
name]» + «Enabler» - as part of the company's promise to enable green energy and
a greener future. 
 
Importantly, Edda Wind are only changing the vessels' names while the company
branding is not 
changed. Edda Wind is already a strong name in the market, and the company name
will remain.  
 
"Starting with our latest newbuild, our vessels will carry the name «ENABLER» as
a visual, constant 
and strong reminder to ourselves and our customers of our vision and our
expertise. We welcome 
"Sudri Enabler" to our fleet and will begin the renaming process of the rest of
our fleet soon", says 
Kenneth Walland, CEO Edda Wind. 

Prepared for emission-free operations 

"Sudri Enabler" is a purpose-built Commissioning Service Operation vessel (CSOV)
designed with 
unparalleled flexibility and operability, prepared for emission-free operations
with a hydrogen
based propulsion system. Edda Wind's SOVs and CSOVs are designed to set a new
standard in the 
offshore wind market. Every effort has been made in the design to maximize the
efficiency of 
operations in the wind farm. The vessel will serve as mother vessel for wind
turbine technicians as 
they perform commissioning and maintenance work on offshore wind turbines. The
CSOV is 88.3 in 
length and can accommodate up to 120 persons in total.  

"Yet another milestone for Edda Wind. I want to thank everyone contributing to
making this day so 
special. Thank you to Gondan Shipyard for their effort in building this vessel,
and same to all others 
who have worked on this project. Also, a big thank you to Martha Kold Monclair
for doing us the 
honor of being the Lady Sponsor", says CEO in Edda Wind Kenneth Walland.
