Haugesund, Norway, headquartered offshore wind service company Edda Wind (OSL:EWIND) reports that it has entered into a five-year contract with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy for a service operation vessel (SOV) currently under construction by Spanish shipbuilder Astilleros Balenciaga.

The contract, which is on market terms, is expected to commence mid-2023 and will see the vessel operate at an offshore wind farm in France.
