Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) has signed a significant ₹1,050 crore agreement to manufacture two vessels for a European company engaged in offshore wind farm repair operations.

These ships are being constructed for Pelagic Wind Services (PWS), a Cyprus-based firm specializing in servicing and repairing offshore wind farms in Europe. This represents CSL’s largest contract with a European company to date.

Construction of the vessels commenced on Friday during an official ceremony held in Kochi.

The vessels will receive zero-emission certification and will feature hotel amenities and onboard logistics to provide a secure and appealing workspace for approximately 150 technicians.
