    CWind Challenger

    A versatile and cost effective MPC 19

    Overview

    Built in 2013, the CWind Challenger is part of CWind’s fleet of proven MPC 19 resin-infused composite vessels. To date, these vessels have been employed at more than 20 offshore wind farms in the UK and Germany.

    The vessel uses a moveable wheelhouse and modular three-section pod system enabling her to perform multiple functions including crew transfer, refuelling (16t fuel capacity), survey with moon pool attachment, dive support and full O&M support. The modular pod design offers exciting operational flexibility as well as enhanced deck space options.

    Features include fully air-conditioned, personalised suspension seating for passengers and crew, lockers and shelving for technician bags, microwave, fridge, hot water, and changing area.

    CWind Challenger was the first craft to be classed by Bureau Veritas under their Wind Farms Service Ship class notation.
