What They Do
Windcat specializes in offshore support and personnel logistics for the offshore energy industry, focusing on the safe transport of technicians and staff between shore, offshore wind farms, construction vessels, and other offshore assets (source: cmb.tech). The company operates a fleet of Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs), and a Multi-Purpose Accommodation Service Vessel (MP-ASV), all designed for various offshore applications (source: linkedin.com). Over more than twenty years, Windcat has evolved alongside the offshore energy industry and now integrates CMB.TECH's hydrogen dual-fuel technology into new vessels, including several hydrogen-powered CTVs already in operation (source: cmb.tech). Windcat’s market primarily targets the European offshore wind sector but also serves the offshore oil and gas industry and is expanding its activities beyond Europe (source: linkedin.com).
Projects & Track Record
Windcat owns and operates a growing fleet that recently includes over 60 CTVs and multiple CSOVs, with LinkedIn listing 6 CSOVs and 1 MP-ASV, while CMB.TECH reported in 2026 having 3 CSOVs and 60 CTVs, indicating ongoing expansion and new deliveries (source: linkedin.com, globenewswire.com). In 2024, four new CTVs were delivered, including TSM Windcat 59, TSM Windcat 56, Windcat 57, and Hydrocat (source: cmb.tech). A key project is the Hydrocat, the world’s first hydrogen-powered CTV, marking a milestone in fleet sustainability (source: ir.seacormarine.com). Additionally, in 2024 Windcat entered a technical and crewing management partnership with Anglo-Eastern for its first CSOVs, built by Damen Shipyards and designed for extended offshore stays up to 30 days with accommodation for 90 technicians (source: cmb.tech). Further vessels such as Windcat 57, Windcat 58, Windcat Rotterdam, and Windcat 61 were delivered in 2024 and 2025, with an additional multi-purpose accommodation service vessel planned for delivery from 2028 (source: nasdaq.com, ritzau.dk).
Recent Developments
Over the past two years, Windcat has further expanded its fleet with new deliveries and innovations, including the integration of hydrogen dual-fuel technology in new vessels (source: cmb.tech). The collaboration with Anglo-Eastern for the technical and crewing management of CSOVs marks an important step in professionalizing the fleet and improving operational efficiency (source: cmb.tech). Furthermore, in 2025 CMB.TECH announced the delivery of multiple new vessels and an order for an additional multi-purpose accommodation service vessel with delivery starting in 2028, further strengthening Windcat’s position as a leading offshore wind support provider (source: nasdaq.com).
