The Company
Delivering safety and operational excellence offshore
With more than four decades of experience, ESVAGT provides the backbone of offshore logistics and safety operations. The company’s Service Operation Vessels play a crucial role in transferring technicians, transporting parts, and maintaining readiness for emergency response — ensuring continuous support for offshore wind farms throughout their lifecycle.
The Motivation
Optimising vessel and crew deployment through data-driven planning
As offshore wind capacity expands, ESVAGT faced growing complexity in fleet utilisation, weather dependency, and maintenance scheduling. The company sought a simulation solution that could model offshore operations with precision — enabling it to test different logistics setups, anticipate downtime risks, and improve overall O&M strategy.
“We will be able to back up our bids for service tenders with calculations and facts – both for existing offshore farms and for new projects, whether they be standalone solutions, combinations with other offshore wind farms, cluster concepts or many other options. The SOV concept can be used for many solutions and the simulation tool helps to document this.”

The Solution
Collaborating with Shoreline to design smarter O&M logistics
Through Shoreline’s O&M Design simulation software, ESVAGT can now simulate entire offshore-wind operational cycles — from vessel routing and crew rotations to spare-parts logistics and port selection.
The platform provides scenario-based insights, allowing ESVAGT to visualise and evaluate multiple strategies before implementation. This enables data-driven decision-making that enhances efficiency, safety, and service reliability.
The Results
Driving measurable gains in operational performance
By integrating Shoreline’s simulation tools, ESVAGT achieved clearer visibility into its O&M performance, reducing uncertainty in resource allocation and improving cost predictability.
The digital approach strengthened collaboration with wind-farm clients, supported smarter scheduling, and enhanced vessel utilisation, helping ESVAGT continue its mission of delivering safe, efficient, and reliable offshore services.
