The "MS Natalie" is one of the most powerful and multifunctional vessels in the field of offshore wind energy.
The former oil platform tender, built in Singapore in 1982, underwent a complete overhaul in autumn 2009. Amongst other things, this included equipping the vessel with a crane and what is known as a passive heeling system that counterbalances the ship's movement during crane operations, for example. A dynamic positioning system (DPS) that functions much like an autopilot ensures precise positioning at sea. This overhaul has upgraded the “MS Natalie” to a state-of-the-art offshore wind farm tender.
