Saturday 9 September Edda Wind celebrated the naming ceremony of “Edda Nordri”.
Edda Wind continue its tradition using the Edda name, and “Nordri” comes from the Nordic mythology and represents one of the four characters (Nordri, Sudri, Vestri and Austri) holding up the sky after it was made by the Gods from the skull of Ymir.
The Lady Sponsor of the vessel is Mrs. Tone Lunde Bakker, CEO of EKSFIN – Eksportfinansiering Norge. «I am very excited and honored being the Lady Sponsor of this beautiful vessel. Edda NORDRI represents a new generation of vessels with a crucially important mission: to help provide more renewable energy and cut emissions. I am looking forward to following her duties.”
Edda Nordri is a purpose-built Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) designed with unparalleled flexibility and operability, prepared for emission-free operations with a hydrogen-based propulsion system. The vessel will serve as mother vessel for wind turbine technicians as they perform commissioning and maintenance work on offshore wind turbines. The CSOVs is 88,3 m in length and can accommodate up to 120 persons in total.
Edda Nordri was delivered by Gondan Shipbuilders to Owners 7 Sept and will be ready for operations in Q4/23.
“Edda Nordri is number three of six sister vessels to be delivered by Gondan and I am very happy to present the vessel and the quality today. I want to thank everyone contributing to making this day so special. Thank you to Gondan Shipbuilders for their effort in building this vessel, and same to all others who have worked on this project. Also, a big thank you to Tone Lunde Bakker for doing us the honor of being the Lady Sponsor.
