The semi-submersible vessel MV Sun Rise called at Hampton Roads, delivering the remaining transition pieces (TPs) for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project led by Dominion Energy in the United States. The shipment consisted of the last TPs produced in Denmark by CS WIND Offshore for the development.

The final batch departed the CS WIND facility at the Port of Aalborg, bringing to a close a load-out programme that started in April 2024. With this sailing and the arrival in Hampton Roads, the TP transportation for the project between Aalborg and the US East Coast was completed.

In the meantime, in August 2025, German heavy-lift and engineering specialist SAL announced that it had purchased SUN RISE (to be renamed to Alma) and another vessel of the same type, SUN SHINE (renamed to Luisa), from Pan Ocean of Korea, with delivery scheduled between October 2025 and April 2026.
