Otto Candies and Offshore Wind- Innovation and Forward Thinking! We were recently interviewed by the Oceantic Network regarding our involvement in the offshore wind industry. “Otto Candies has provided some of the only retrofitted service operations vessels (SOVs) to the U.S. offshore wind industry, playing a crucial role in the success of Northeast projects like South Fork Wind and Vineyard Wind. Our CADE CANDIES has been outfitted with a walk-to-work gangway and was retrofitted with portable accommodation units on the back deck to increase the amount of personnel that could be housed on the vessel. We are ready to answer the call to expand our services [and to] chase new opportunities that arise.” - Otto Candies, IV #maritime #marinetransportation #marinetransport #offshore #wind #vessels #offshorewind #oceanrenewables #shipbuilding #americanshipbuilding

Employee Spotlight: Troy Haden, 2nd Mate / DPO This month is Troy’s 14th anniversary with Otto Candies, LLC Hometown: Lucedale, MS What do you love most about your job? The people. I've met a lot of really smart, experienced, and just all-around cool people. I've learned a lot from many people over the years. What is your favorite memory from working with us? A few years ago there was a tropical storm and we evacuated some people from Perdido. It was a rough ride. I wouldn't have said it was my favorite at the time, but now I think it was really cool that we were able to get those guys out of there. What do you enjoy when you’re not working? I spend a lot of time with family and friends. I have 2 dogs that keep me pretty busy. I sometimes play the drums, but not as much as I used to. Do you have a quote that you live by? “Have fun and get it done!” #maritime #marinetransportation #marinetransport #offshore #wind #vessels #offshorewind #oceanrenewables #shipbuilding #americanshipbuilding

Otto Candies, LLC reposted this
Gulf of Mexico-based Otto Candies, LLC diversified into offshore wind a few years ago by retrofitting several of its existing oil and gas vessels to work in the emerging energy industry. Now, the marine transportation company is ready to do more. Co-owner Otto Candies IV said he sees the company’s role in offshore wind growing over the next 5-10 years, potentially with newbuild vessels as the industry matures and more opportunities become available. So far, he said, offshore wind has been a way to expand their offerings and “show the world what Cajun ingenuity is all about.” Click the link to read more takeaways from our Q&A with Otto Candies: https://lnkd.in/gaCMMDys #offshorewind #OSWatwork #vessels #energy

Offshore supply vessels (OSVs) are essential for supporting oil and gas production. These vessels are specifically designed to transport equipment, personnel, and supplies to offshore drilling rigs and platforms.
