Windward Offshore completes Vard-built CSOV quartet with delivery of Windward Hamburg

Windward Offshore has taken delivery of the Windward Hamburg, completing a four-vessel series of purpose-built commissioning service operation vessels ordered from Vard, MarineLink Maritime News reported on 7 September 2026.

Final vessel delivered

The arrival of the Windward Hamburg marks the conclusion of the shipowner's planned four-ship CSOV series built by Vard. The source report states the delivery brings the newest unit into Windward Offshore's fleet, completing the set of purpose-built commissioning service operation vessels.

The completion of the quartet was presented by MarineLink Maritime News on the date of the announcement, 7 September 2026. The item made clear that the series had been constructed to a single, purpose-designed brief and that the Windward Hamburg is now the final vessel in that run.

Vard is identified in the report as the shipbuilder responsible for the four vessels. The company supplied all vessels in the series under the same contract, and the recent handover concluded that programme of work.

Fleet composition

With the Windward Hamburg now delivered, Windward Offshore's CSOV fleet numbers four purpose-built vessels. The report notes the Hamburg joins sister vessels, including the Windward Athens, already in the operator's fleet.

The completion of the four-vessel series leaves Windward Offshore with a uniform set of purpose-built commissioning service operation vessels constructed by the same yard. The report underlines that the series was a defined order with a clear completion point reached by the final delivery.

MarineLink Maritime News is named as the publisher of the original report, which carried the announcement on 7 September 2026. That report served as the basis for the confirmation that the Windward Hamburg delivery closed the four-vessel programme.

The delivery of the Windward Hamburg closes the cycle of handovers for the CSOV series ordered from Vard. The arrival of the final vessel into Windward Offshore's fleet completes the sequence set out by the original order and recorded in the MarineLink report.
