Rem Power

Making it safe to push the boundaries

Sector Energy

Type Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV)

Delivered May 2023

Substantial volumes in the vessel set aside for future upgrades or conversion to zero emission energy sources

Rem Power is a pioneer in green and technological solutions – enabling sustainable operations at sea. Fitted with a series of world first solutions making it highly flexible and prepared for the future. It is a future-oriented vessel prepared for zero-emission operation through charging at sea.

The challenge

The task was set to develop a cutting-edge Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) for Rem Purus that could excel in global offshore wind farm operations while emphasizing sustainability, low emissions, and advanced technological solutions. The vessel needed to be versatile, efficient, and prepared for zero-emission operations, all while being delivered on a tight schedule to meet market demands.

Value for client

Delivered on time

Our cluster and integrated shipbuilding valiue chain enables us to deliver on time

Built for flexibility

50% longer lifetime expectancy due to space and flexible solutions for future needs

World first with ECMC crane

World first vessel to be equipped with VARD daughter SEAONICS’ Electric Controlled Motion Compensated (ECMC) crane, securing efficient handling operations for a sustainable future.

What we did

In close collaboration with the customer, we designed and built Rem Power, a vessel equipped with a diesel-electric and battery hybrid propulsion system as part of the Ocean Charger project. This project aims to minimize additional energy sources by enabling at-sea charging.

We integrated pioneering technologies like the SeaQ bridge system, SEAONICS’ ECMC crane, and Kongsberg Rim azimuth propellers. Our focus was on creating a vessel with superior operability, enhanced maneuverability, and comprehensive environmental impact assessment systems.

“It is very gratifying to find that Rem Power is delivered on time and goes straight to work in a good market. The market looks good in all our segments, and Rem is well positioned with the most modern and energy-efficient fleet in the industry.”

CEO Rem Offshore, Lars Conradi Andersen.

Key contributors

Rem Power is the first CSOV delivered with Vard Electro’s SeaQ integrated bridge system. The SeaQ bridge is the highest level of bridge integration with an extended architecture, utilizing a combination of VARD developed integration solutions, combined with touch monitors to gather various systems into one operator station, backed by full-featured onboard commissioning and verification features.

REM Power is the world first vessel to be equipped with SEAONICS’ Electric Controlled Motion Compensated (ECMC) crane, securing efficient handling operations for a sustainable future. This system allows to always keep the load close to the crane tip from the deck level to the TP platform. The new and innovative crane ensures quick and safe cargo transfer.
