- 1) Measured by number of vessels
- 2) Edda Passat was sold in Q1 2024
Goelo Enabler commenced operations in July
Goelo Enabler commenced operations for Siemens Gamesa
- Goelo Enabler was delivered from yard in March 2024, however an incident during Harbour Acceptance Test causing damages to the gangway delayed commencement of operation which was set to start in May 2024
- On 18 July, Goelo Enabler commenced operation and is now the permanent vessel for the SiemensGamesa contract on the Saint-Brieuc wind farm
- The vessel is operating with a rental gangway which is to be replaced by the original gangway in Q4/24-Q1/25, in time for Edda Nordri or C503 to be ready to act as substitute (or an external frontrunners) during the repair and reinstatement period


Source: Company information
1) The contract with Siemens Gamesa initially started in Q4 2023 and has been operated by frontrunner vessels until Goelo Enabler commenced operation in July 2024
Sudri Enabler commenced operation in July and is now fully booked until 2026
Proven ability to move vessels directly from construction to attractive contracts
Edda Wind is demonstrating its ability to move vessels directly from construction to attractive contracts evidenced by Sudri Enabler
On the 19 July, the vessel commenced operations for DEME at the Dogger Bank Wind Farm where she will be working until Q2 2025
Following the work at Dogger Bank, Sudri Enabler is planned to commence operations for Vestas from Q2 2025 and is fully booked to the end of 2025, with options extending into 2026
~6
Straight quarters of employment booked on firm short-term charters prior to vessel delivery
close to 100%
Employment booked on short-term charter contracts next ~1.5 years
Edda Wind extends its trackrecord of moving vessels directly from construction to attractive contracts – six newbuilds coming to market 2024-2026

Clear steps to enhance fleet economics based on designated activities
Economics of scale, in-housing and further efficiency drive economics
Edda Wind will gradually take over the management of its vessels from Q3 2024, which adds flexibility and optimisation ability
Strengthening the organisation with highly experienced operational employees to manage the vessels, including vessel managers, technical operators, gangway specialists
Building a lean and profitability-driven organisation with expected scale benefits as the vessels are commencing operations
Strengthening administrative functions to do all vessel and organisational management
Organisation has grown from 6 FTEs in mid 2023 to 23 FTEs currently – some additional FTEs expected to join during 2024-2025 following management take-over
Vessel managers

Technical operators


Administrative functions
Economics of scale combined with lean organisation to enhance economics and value creation
Expected cost reduction from economies of scale, in-housing of management and other efficiencies

Demand outlook remains favourable – Edda Wind is looking forward to further newbuild deliveries

- Favorable demand outlook for C/SOV
- Edda Wind is experiencing increased tendering activity
- Delays and unscheduled work at the wind farms resulting in additional work for CSOVs
- Despite recent newbuilding orders, C/SOV demand is still estimated to significantly outgrow supply
- High seasonal dayrates observed for the CSOV market driven by limited "tier 1" vessel availability
Majority of existing fleet on long-term contracts – newbuilds more tilted towards commissioning
