OEG Marine Services has placed an order for three further crew transfer vessels with Diverse Marine, the company announced in a report published by MarineLink Maritime News on 21 October 2026. The additions form part of a newbuilding programme that the announcement says will deliver the vessels throughout 2027.
The vessels are to be built to the BREVITY SL Class design developed by Chartwell Marine, the report states. The order expands OEG’s offshore wind support fleet and continues the operator’s recent newbuilding activity.
The announcement does not disclose technical particulars or the locations where construction will take place. It does, however, identify the design class and the two companies involved: Diverse Marine as the yard or supplier named in the order and Chartwell Marine as the designer of the BREVITY SL Class.
Operators commonly choose class designs such as the BREVITY SL to meet the repetitive demands of wind farm crew transfers; the reported order indicates OEG is continuing to invest in dedicated support capability for offshore renewables.
Design and supplier roles
Chartwell Marine’s BREVITY SL Class is named as the basis for the newbuilds. The MarineLink report links Chartwell to the design, while Diverse Marine is identified as the recipient of the order from OEG.
The report does not attach further specification details to the design or describe any customisation requested by OEG, leaving the precise fit-out and equipment to be confirmed as the vessels proceed through the newbuilding programme.
Delivery timeline and fleet impact
MarineLink notes that deliveries are scheduled to take place throughout 2027. The placement of three additional vessels under a single programme implies staged handovers across that calendar year.
The company statement framed by the report categorises the order as an expansion of OEG’s offshore wind support fleet, signalling a continued build-out of assets intended for crew transfer operations to wind farms.
The MarineLink Maritime News report of 21 October 2026 is the source for the order details and the design attribution. It supplies the principal facts available at the time of publication: the purchaser, the supplier, the design name and the delivery window, without appended technical data or financial terms.
The move adds to an ongoing market dynamic in which operators commission purpose-built craft to service growing fleets of offshore turbines. For OEG, the newbuilds will join the other assets in its support roster, with the company setting their arrival across 2027 as the prospective timeframe for integration into its operational programme.
Further information on specifications, construction yards, crew complements or contract values has not been released in the MarineLink item and will need to be supplied by the parties or by subsequent reporting as the programme progresses.
