Kockums first CarboCAT®, named CarboClyde, is adapted to the maintenance of off-shore wind power stations. The ship was delivered to the buyer Fintry Marine Ltd on the morning of the 5th of September in order to sail to Lübeck to become equipped. After that it will sail to Rostock where it will enter in to service.
