M/V Sea Discoverer Chartered for London Array Project

M/V Sea Discoverer, which is part of the Comfort at Sea fleet, has been chartered for the world’s largest, offshore wind project, the London Array. With its capacity of 294 persons, the ship will be serving as an offshore floating hotel for technicians and project management.

The M/V Sea Discoverer which has just finished a charter for another offshore wind project, the Walney II, will be delivered to Ramsgate in England on 27 February 2012 for subsequent travel to the London Array offshore site.

”It is fantastic that the Sea Discoverer will be involved in London Array, a project in which Blue Water Shipping is already participating. We provide port agency services and stevedoring for the installation vessel in Esbjerg, and now also a hotelship for the offshore site. Being a part of the world’s largest offshore wind project is of huge importance to us, and shows that our wide range of services ensures involvement on several fronts”, says Business Development Manager Jacob Kjærgaard, Blue Water Shipping.

This is the fourth charter for Comfort at Sea, which is a joint venture between International Shipping Partners Inc. and Blue Water Shipping. Comfort at Sea has at its disposal a fleet of 22 ships with capacities up to 1,120 passengers.
