Windcat

Windcat is Europe’s leading offshore personnel transfer company. We own and operate a growing fleet of over 55 offshore CTV’s. The vessel’s layout and propulsion are optimised to transfer personnel offshore in a safe and comfortable environment. We choose to integrate hydrogen into all our new vessels to reduce our clients' CO2 emissions. Along with CMB.TECH we have been developing hydrogen solutions and have elected to include Hydrogen into all our new build vessels. We have a large team of people situated all over Europe operating and supporting our vessels. As windfarms go further offshore, crews need a home away from home. Therefore we are adding a new vessel type to our fleet to offer safety and comfort for up to 120 people: Windcat Offshore is a dedicated business focused on CSOV ownership and operations.
