So what is a SWATH vessel?

There are currently 21 SWATH CTVs working in offshore wind, out of a total of over 440 active vessels (not including three vessels which have moved to other markets).

There is also just one SWATH SOV, Groene Wind,  in operation. However, this is set to change. Back in October this year, GC Rieber Shipping announced that it had contracted  the Cemre yard in Turkey to build two SWATH SOVs, the Windkeeper design.
