The vessel was one of the nominees for the 2017 Ship of the Year Award. The usage of Service Operation Vessels (SOV) will improve the efficiency of service operations at offshore wind farms. The vessels function as reliable and environmentally sound platforms for wind farm operations and maintenance support, technician accommodation and transport, and the provision of exceptional levels of safe and reliable access to offshore installations. The vessel's name honours the German mathematician, philosopher and physicist Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, who in the 17th century proposed to use wind power to operate pumps. The vessel's first assignment was for Siemens Wind Power to service Vattenfall's offshore wind farms Sandbank and DanTysk in the German Bight and started in April 2017.
