Polish shipbuilder Crist S.A. is to build a heavy lift jack-up vessel named Vidar for German construction giant Hochtief Solutions. Like Hochtief's other heavy-duty equipment, the new special-purpose jack-up vessel will also speed up installation and servicing times for the latest generation of offshore wind farms. According to principal characteristics, Vidar will have 148 meters length and 90 accommodation places. The evident uncertainties of the regulatory situation for specialized offshore vessels hamper the timely development of the offshore wind energy. These installation and servicing vessels can be adequately regulated by Guidelines defining the appropriate application of existing requirements from the Special Purpose Ships Code (SPS Code). Due to amounts of the accommodation places, there is interface with SOLAS regulations for passenger vessels. But they are no passenger vessels, therefore specific passenger vessel requirements such SOLAS safe return to port requirements should be not applied. This situation yielded the shipbuilder Crist initiative to investigate the regulatory obstacles at International Maritime Organization (IMO) forum. Therefore, they have asked Polish department for Subcommittee of Ship and Equipment Design of IMO to review the applicability of the existing IMO instruments. This paper is an outcome of the carried out study concerning some aspects of offshore wind farm installation and maintenance issues.
