Offshore ship sold and renamed
Seaway 7 has confirmed the sale of the 'Seaway Moxie' to the Danish offshore accommodation and project services company CBED, founded in 2008 as a subsidiary of C-bed Holding A/S within The Monjasa Group, which has renamed it 'Wind Dedication'. The vessel had been in service since 2014. The sale reflected the company's continued focus on its core offshore wind installation activities, while providing greater flexibility to source support vessel capacity according to the requirements of individual projects. Despite the transaction, the 'Seaway Moxie' was to continue supporting Seaway 7's existing commitments and was expected to remain on contract with the company until early 2028. The ship berthed in Eemshaven on Oct 9, 2026.

A new era for accessing offshore wind turbines
Earlier this year in Hamburg, the name-giving ceremony was held for the installation support vessel Siem Moxie, Maritime Journal reports. The vessel was built for Siem Offshore Contractors by shipbuilder Fjellstrand AS (based at Omastrand in the Hardangerfjord on the west coast of Norway). Following model testing at the Hamburg Ship Model Basin, the basic vessel was built at Ada Shipyard at Tuzla in Turkey before being towed to Fjellstrand’s facilities in Norway for completion. The vessel has immediately been taken on charter by E.ON for duties at the Amrumbank West offshore windfarm north of Helgoland in the German sector of the North Sea. There are a number of notable features with the Siem Moxie, including: ULSTEIN’S patented X-BOW design, Voith Schneider propulsion (VSP) units (the first example of this combination in an offshore work vessel) and the first example of a three-axis motion compensated offshore crane. The combination of features in this innovative vessel have presented the industry with a visible example of how they may address the issue of providing access to turbines at a time when traditional methods are being overtaken by progressive developments.
