Continuing our local Blue Economy success story, Rhode Island shipbuilder Senesco Marine launched their second CTV to date last month. The Windserve GENESIS was constructed at Senesco Marine by a team of over 100 expert shipbuilders.
The Windserve GENESIS will be working for Orsted in their Northeast offshore wind farm builds. Able to carry 24 passengers and additional cargo at speeds as high as 27 knots, The Windserve GENESIS will be a great asset to the offshore wind industry. Senesco Marine continues to build four more offshore wind vessels at this time as well a the first ever hybrid ferries being built on the east coast.
Rhode Island is continuing to grow into its role as a leader in the burgeoning biotechnology and life sciences space – and the last month included plenty of examples that showcase this momentum!
