The Christening of Imogen Rose: A New Addition to Tidal Transit’s Fleet

The latest vessel to join Tidal Transit’s fleet of crew transfer vessels (CTVs), Imogen Rose, was recently christened at Equinor’s pontoon in Great Yarmouth. The ceremony was part of a larger event celebrating the completion of a modification project at the Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farm.

Imogen Rose, a WindFlex 27 model designed by Incat Crowther UK and built by Penguin International in Singapore, is equipped with Volvo Penta Quad-IPS for optimal performance. Her maiden charter was to Stowen Group, supporting their contract with Equinor for offshore modification and maintenance at Sheringham Shoal.

Designed for fuel efficiency, maneuverability, and durability in all-weather conditions, Imogen Rose was chosen to ensure the timely completion of the modification project. The vessel features a future-proofed hull design and onboard systems that can be retrofitted with zero-emissions power supply and propulsion.

Leo Hambro, commercial director of Tidal Transit, expressed his gratitude to Equinor and Stowen Group for hosting the christening event. He emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting offshore developments in the UK and beyond with Imogen Rose.

Colin Galer, plant manager of the Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farm, highlighted the importance of Imogen Rose’s role in the ongoing operations at the wind farm. Sheringham Shoal, with 88 wind turbines generating 1.1 terawatt hours of green energy annually, has been a significant player in the renewable energy sector since its inception in 2012.

Imogen Rose’s christening marks a new chapter in Tidal Transit’s mission to provide efficient and reliable crew transfer services for offshore projects. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, the company looks forward to continued collaborations with industry partners to drive the transition towards cleaner energy solutions.
