Exciting opportunity in offshore wind

IWS Fleet is operating a series of newly built Walk-to-Work Service Operation Vessels tailor built to operate in offshore wind farms. We took delivery of our latest newbuilds in the IWS Skywalker class in 2025, and now have 6 CSOVs serving offshore wind farms in northern Europe.
