History and ownership
Built in 2002 at Myklebust Verft AS, the PSV now sailing as SAR ODIN (IMO 9249635) traded for years as SKANDI RONA, before being sold in 2022 to Olsen Gruppen AS and placed under Hoyland Offshore AS management.
Technical details
Class is recorded as DNV GL, with AIS identifying her as an offshore supply/work vessel.
Operational area
Recent assignments include offshore wind support; a Notice to Mariners for Sofia Offshore Wind Farm lists the Sar Odin as a ‘Noise Abatement (Big Bubble Curtain)’ vessel expected to operate from around 1 January 2025 (UK sector of the North Sea).
AIS tracks show activity, including calls to Bulgaria.
Crew and lifestyle
On PSVs of this size, Sar Odin jobs may include deck and engine departments with master/chief officer, chief engineer/ETO, ABs, motormen and catering staff, with STCW training and company HSSE inductions forming the baseline.
Environmental initiatives
Bubble-curtain operations are designed to reduce underwater piling noise and protect marine life; this is an environmental mitigation measure in itself. Daily practice also follows MARPOL waste handling and spill-prevention procedures.
