MPC Capital, a German investment and asset management firm, has announced that Eurazeo and a prominent European family office are investing in its newly established platform for offshore service vessels (OSVs). This initiative is a collaboration between MPC Capital and OS Energy, known as MPC OSE Offshore, aimed at developing, constructing, and managing OSVs tailored for offshore wind farm operations.

Eurazeo is contributing €70 million (approximately US$73 million) through its Eurazeo Transition Infrastructure Fund (ETIF), which is classified as an SFDR Article 9 fund. This investment marks ETIF's seventh commitment, reinforcing its role in advancing the European offshore wind sector.

In late 2022, MPC Capital revealed plans to enter the offshore wind service vessel market, with intentions to acquire six new offshore survey and service vessels (OSSVs) designed for emission-free operations. These vessels will be constructed at Esbjerg Shipyard in Denmark, with deliveries expected between 2026 and 2028, as part of a broader €130 million (around US$140 million) investment strategy.
