Vessel Description
WINDCAT 62 is a high-speed aluminium Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) operating under the German flag, forming part of the well-established Windcat Workboats fleet — one of Europe's largest dedicated offshore wind support vessel operators.
As a member of the Windcat MkIII series, the vessel is specifically designed and optimised for the transfer of technicians and light cargo to offshore wind turbine installations. The MkIII class features a planing aluminium hull with waterjet propulsion, enabling high-speed transits across the North Sea while maintaining crew comfort and operational safety in challenging sea states.
The vessel supports routine Operations & Maintenance (O&M) activities at offshore wind farms, providing reliable and efficient daily crew transfers between shore bases and turbine platforms. Windcat Workboats vessels in this class are recognised for their low wash characteristics, fuel efficiency, and ability to perform bow-to-structure landings safely.
WINDCAT 62 is registered in Germany, consistent with Windcat's operational footprint across German offshore wind zones in the North Sea, including established wind farm clusters in the Deutsche Bucht area.

Users are advised to cross-reference with official registries (Lloyd's List, Equasis, German Ship Register) for certified data.
