Offshore windfarm crew transfer vessels Njord Avocet and Njord Kittiwake arrived to Rotterdam two days ago from Singapore. The vessels were shipped together on the deck of a heavy lift vessel MV Wiebke.
They are intending to sail for Lowestoft today but given the forecast (force 7-8) they may head to a marina in the UK until the winds die down.
Njord Avocet and Njord Kittiwake are the first two 21m Crew Transfer Vessels, purpose built for the Offshore Windfarm Industry in a series of vessels managed by Njord Offshore.
The vessels were designed by naval architect BMT Nigel Gee, one of the world’s foremost fast catamaran designers, and built by Strategic Marine.
