Fincantieri, contract with Crest Wind for vessel to support U.S. wind farms

Fincantieri, through its U.S. subsidiary Fincantieri Marine Group, has signed a contract with Crest Wind, a joint venture between Crowley and Esvagt, for the design and construction of a Service Operation Vessel.

According to a statement, the vessel, which will be 88 meters long, will enter service in 2026. The vessel will serve on a long-term charter to Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, a wind farm in the United States owned by Dominion Energy.

These vessels are used to transport technicians to maintain and monitor the operation of offshore wind turbines.
