SAL has officially welcomed MV Frida into its fleet following the vessel’s christening in Esbjerg, marking a new milestone for the company’s growing Orca Class.
The ceremony was held together with Siemens Gamesa and reflected the close collaboration between the two companies. MV Frida is already operating at sea and has begun the work it was designed to perform, carrying components for an offshore renewable energy project in the Southern North Sea.
According to the company, the vessel supports the energy transition through transport work tied to offshore renewables. Its design follows the concept of the Orca Class, with a focus on performance, flexibility and precision.
As the second vessel in the Orca Class to be christened, MV Frida adds momentum to the series as it continues to take shape. Three more vessels are set to follow, further expanding the class.
The vessel was christened by Frida Mortensen, daughter of Thomas Mortensen, Head of Shipping, Offshore Wind at Siemens Wind Power A/S. The naming was described as symbolising peace, tranquillity and security, values associated with every voyage at sea.
For SAL, the occasion marked an important moment for those involved both on board and ashore as MV Frida officially joined the fleet.
