CRIST S.A. advances shipbuilding for Ulstein Verft
CRIST S.A. has reached a new milestone in its collaboration with Ulstein Verft, marking progress in building advanced vessels for the renewable energy sector.
In brief
Shipyard CRIST S.A. laid the keel on 19 December 2024 for the vessel SX222, the last unit of a series of six being built for the Norwegian shipyard Ulstein Verft. Steel cutting for SX222 began in autumn 2024, and construction is due to be completed by the end of 2025, when CRIST S.A. plans to deliver four vessels to Ulstein Verft. SX222 is based on the ULSTEIN TWIN X-STERN design, measures 90 metres in length and up to 19 metres in beam, and the Commissioning Service Operation Vessel is being prepared for operation on methanol fuel. Equipment includes a motion-compensated gangway, a crane with a lifting capacity of 15 tons and 111 cabins.
In autumn 2024, Polish shipbuilder CRIST S.A. began steel cutting for the final vessel in a six-ship series for Norwegian shipyard Ulstein Verft. The project advanced on December 19, 2024, with the laying of the keel for SX222, which marked the commencement of a building timetable projected to be completed by the end of 2025.
CRIST S.A. will be quite busy in the following year, with plans to deliver four vessels, including SX222, to Ulstein Verft. These vessels include advanced shipbuilding designs with a focus on sustainability.
The SX222 is based on the ULSTEIN TWIN X-STERN design. It is 90 meters in length and up to 19 meters wide. The Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) is preparing for future methanol fuel operations with the goal of reducing environmental impact. The hull design, which lacks a transom plate, aims to improve fuel efficiency, manoeuvrability, speed, stability, and load capacity.
The ship is equipped with a motion-compensated gangway, a 15-ton crane, and 111 cabins for crew and operational staff servicing wind farms.
