IWS Fleet secures strong demand for wind farm vessels

IWS Fleet has announced strong market interest in its Skywalker-class vessels, with existing clients exercising extension options to fill charter backlog gaps. Notably, the IWS Sunwalker has secured a 70-day fixed charter contract extension, effectively filling a Q1 2026 gap. This latest extension means the vessel now has back-to-back firm charter contracts extending into Q4 2026, commencing its first charter shortly.

The company's fleet has achieved 100% contract coverage for available vessel days in Q4 2025. Furthermore, all available days for H1 2026 are now contracted, accounting for both charter extension options and necessary relocation days. IWS Fleet also reports being in late-stage negotiations for significant charter contracts scheduled for 2027.

Integrated Wind Solutions ASA owns approximately 75% of IWS Fleet, which operates six Commissioning Service Operation Vessels.
