Cyan Renewables selects Ulstein FFIV design
The new FFIVs will feature adequate deck space and crane capacity to meet developments in foundation design
Singapore-headquartered Cyan Renewables has contracted Ulstein Design & Solutions BV as the designer of a series of new floating foundation installation vessels (FFIV) dedicated to offshore wind. With an increasing lack of heavy lift installation vessels, these new FFIVs are needed to fill the gap.
The vessels will enable Cyan to support the offshore wind industry in meeting its global ambitions.
STATE-OF-THE-ART DESIGNS
The new FFIVs will feature adequate deck space and crane capacity to meet developments in foundation design, including monopiles and jackets. In addition, they will also have low emission capability, using a hybrid power system consisting of dual-fuel engines (methanol), shore power and a battery energy storage system.

“Part of our R&D work included a new method to develop the business case and ship design simultaneously. With this Ulstein Blended Design method, we explored thousands of ship designs to find the most future-proof solutions”, says Ko Stroo, Product Manager/Lead Naval Architect in Ulstein Design & Solutions BV. “Working with multiple future growth scenarios for offshore wind, allows us to support Cyan in finding the optimum business case and vessel design.”
