Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA), a prominent French family-owned shipowner, has placed an order for two newly constructed 27-meter crew transfer vessels (CTVs) from Strategic Marine in Singapore. This acquisition will bolster LDA’s fleet from five to seven vessels, with the new units serving as sister ships to the Acti’Vent and Esti’Vent CTVs. Designed under the StratCat 27 model, these vessels will facilitate the transportation of 24 passengers to offshore wind farms. Delivery is anticipated in early 2025, aligning with LDA’s strategic initiative to expand its presence in the offshore renewables sector across France and Europe.

Gaël Cailleaux, Managing Director of Renewables at Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, emphasized, “These new orders are part of our strategy to grow our offshore renewables business in France and Europe, anticipating the evolving needs of the French offshore wind industry.” This development underscores LDA's commitment to enhancing its capabilities in the renewable energy sector while meeting the growing demands of global offshore wind markets.
