Pon Power AS has signed a contract with Edda Wind for delivery of Genflex variable speed generator sets for main propulsion to three new CSOV (Commissioning Service Operation Vessels). With this order, Pon Power will deliver Genflex propulsion generator sets to all nine vessels currently ordered by Edda Wind. The vessels are designed by Salt Ship Design.

Edda Wind is an offshore wind service company jointly owned by Johannes Østensjø dy AS and by Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA. One vessel will be built at Astilleros Gondán, Spain and vessel number two and three will be built at Colombo Dockyard PLC, Sri Lanka. 

The Genflex variable speed gensets from Pon Power features the new Caterpillar 3512E engine with Cat SCR. With this solution a vessel can achieve up to 30% reduction in fuel consumption and emission. The Genflex variable speed gensets also feature reduced structural and airborne noise, improved generator lifetime and increased maintenance intervals to reduce overall operational cost.

We congratulate Edda Wind with this exciting project, and look forward to working with Edda Wind and the Shipyards!
