Vallianz Holdings Limited entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with Royal IHC, to collaborate on the design and construction of a next generation Service Operation Vessel ("SOV") to support the operations and maintenance of offshore windfarms. Designed by Royal IHC to meet the evolving needs of offshore windfarms, the battery hybrid SOV features advanced levels of integration and autonomy with high operational efficiency that will make the vessel the first of its kind in the industry. The state-of-the-art technology enables high levels of safety, reliability and workability from a low cost base with reduced emissions during operation. The SOV is also designed to be ready for true zero emission operations by using full battery offshore charging system and alternative fuels for propulsion without sacrificing operational functionality and yet allowing for a more sustainable performance.

To ensure effective operations, the SOV will have a fully integrated service package that includes a dynamic positioning system, a motion compensated gangway and crane, an elevator tower as well as a daughter craft with step-less boat landing. Ample space will be available for warehousing, workshops, office spaces to cater to operations, and relaxation areas for passengers.
