A joint venture between PSA Marine and its Taiwanese partner Ta Tong Marine Group – Ventus Marine – has recently received the world’s first Service Accommodation Transfer Vessel (SATV).

The SATV commenced its charter on 15 April where it provides operations and maintenance support for the Formosa 1 offshore wind farm project in Taiwan.

Managing Director of PSA Marine Peter Chew said, “We are delighted that our newly commissioned 36-metre SATV is now servicing Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy in Taiwan. The SATV is a game changer in the logistics of harnessing offshore wind energy. It combines both offshore accommodation for technicians, with a fast and efficient vessel that can transfer technicians directly onto an offshore wind turbine without the need for a complicated motion compensated gangway system.
