Every day from ports around the world, hundreds of CTVs set sail to turbine and substation locations transferring technicians and equipment. The crew on the vessel is an essential part of ensuring that offshore wind projects are maintained efficiently and safely.

So if you have ever wondered what goes on during a typical day on a CTV, listen to our latest podcast episode. We were joined by Nikky Williams, who is a Master for vessel operator Tidal Transit. Nikky joined the Crow's Nest from onboard CTV Kitty Petra while the vessel was alongside in Liverpool undergoing maintenance work, prior to transiting to Grimsby on the east coast. 

Nikky discussed what it is like to be part of a CTV crew. How the days start, the transfer process, and what happens when they are not busy transferring technicians to turbines? It is definitely a very busy and varied job with no two days being the same. 

If you are interested in becoming a mariner, Nikky also described the process of qualification. It's not easy, as both technical qualifications are needed as well as sea time, but brings fantastic career opportunities.
