Vessel Description

The Blue Tern is a multipurpose offshore support and installation vessel operated by DEME Group, one of the world's leading dredging and offshore contractors. Built in 2012 by Ulstein Verft in Norway, the vessel is designed specifically for offshore wind farm construction and maintenance operations.

Registered under the Maltese flag with MMSI 215644000 and IMO 9598737, the Blue Tern is equipped with DP2 (Dynamic Positioning Class 2) capability, allowing precise station-keeping without anchoring — essential for offshore installation work. The vessel's diesel-electric propulsion system provides efficiency and redundancy in demanding offshore conditions.

The Blue Tern primarily operates in the North Sea and broader European offshore waters, supporting DEME's portfolio of offshore wind energy and marine engineering projects.
