Sovereign«, a highly capable vessel which has installed almost 400 inter-array cables globally, as well as CWind’s existing fleet of 17 Crew Transfer Vessels. The company will also have access to a diverse array of subsea equipment, including the Q1000 jet trenching Remotely Operated Vehicle, which will support CWind’s ability to deliver more complex work packages.
