Ingmar Loges, Founding Partner, NAV comments: "This is a logical next step in our business approach. We cater for the ship repair and retrofit market, but at the heart of what we do is good engineering. For us it was a natural move to develop in this area and to evolve the developing expertise that we have in the future.
"The Offshore Wind market with its positive dynamics is the world fastest growing Energy Source. In a first step we concentrate on CTV Designs due to the fact that these vessels will always be the backbone of the offshore wind logistics infrastructure. Our vessel designs offer maximum flexibility whilst meeting future demands of environmental regulations. This is where we can help the market to take the next step to more environmentally friendly and efficient vessels. The bonus is that we can also offer this for a competitive price."

By the third Quarter 2025 NAV aims to establish a mid-size CTV tonnage supplier for the Wind Offshore Industry. It is envisaged that the vessels will be chartered out.
The company is in the process to establish an innovative and service driven offshore crew transfer vessel (CTV) operator in the wind offshore market. Trading area North & Baltic Sea. For this venture we are looking for a strategic equity partner in order to become a medium size tonnage supplier for the industry.
NAV sees its involvement as pure equity partner after the delivery of the vessels. NAV is currently in the process of teaming up with a strategic equity partner which can carry out the commercial and technical management.
